I've purchased 3 Harley Benton instruments, and my advice to you is to buy the highest-end products they have. Those are the only products worth spending money on. I've purchased one high-end and two low-end (cheapest) products. This would be one of the low-end ones. It's not worth the already incredibly low price. The dots on the neck seem to have been placed at random, so you either have to sand them off, or do what I've done, place a strip of tape on top of them and make your own, correctly placed, dots. That's not the worse part. I've played the bass less than 10 times since purchasing and the tuning machine on the G-string is already broken. It won't tune all the way up to G without popping and slipping back down. If I want to fix this issue, it will require buying new tuning machines which will be not much cheaper than the instrument itself. Also, when plugged in, it's incredibly hot. You almost have to stay away from plugging it in and just use a mic.
