Excellent value for money
I have been looking to buy a Harley Benton PB-62 for a long, long, long time... and for the many months of browsing the website, i always wished that they made one in Olympic White. When i saw this brand new color in the line pop up the other day, I INSTANTLY clicked and bought it, no hesitation.
This is my only bass and i only have guitars lying around so there's nothing for me to compare to for more accurate comparisons. However I would like to still say that the instrument was set up very well out of the box, the frets are nice, and the neck feels good; the roasted maple neck is definitely the standout feature of this bass, as very little manufacturers produce basses with this type of neck at this price. It looks exceptionally clean everywhere, good craftsmanship. It also sounds like a P-bass.
There is only one downside: neck dive. Lots of it. The body is made out of a very light wood, and the tuners are heavy. This can be greatly reduced by buying lightweight tuning machines, so that doesn't really matter to me.
Overall this is a great instrument, with a price that is far cheaper than similar basses if you were to buy from alternative brands. No regrets.

Sehr gute Platform zum Modden
Der Bass sieht sehr schmuck retro aus und ist durchaus gut verarbeitet wenn man von den etwas scharfen Bundenden und ein paar Kleinigkeiten absieht. Bundrein, gute Intonation, das Setup war gut gleich aus der Box, Pickups haben einen Retro-touch (habe ich dann durch Steve Harris Seymor Duncans ersetzt). Bespielbarkeit ist gut und es macht insgesamt Spaß mit dem Teil zu jammen. Vor wesentlich teureren Kollegen muss er sich nicht verstecken - vor allem mit dem Pickup upgrade ist der Sound mehr als nur OK aus meiner Sicht. Empfehlung.

Dieser Bass haut mich um
Ich hatte vor Ort 2024 einen Vintage 62 Jazz Bass geholt, als Anfänger wohlgemerkt. Ursprünglich wollte ich einen HB-5-Saiter und dann hatte ich den Vintage 62er Jazz in der Hand, und der wurde gekauft. Jetzt gibt es den Vintage 62er PB und der haut mich richtig um. Für das Geld bekommst Du einen stylischen weißen PB-Bass, der richtig gut klingt und mir Spaß macht. Empfehlenswert, vor allem für das Geld. Ich habe mittlerweile 3 HB-Bässe und gut is.
