Harley Benton HBO-850 Bass Black

Great Amazing Bass For The Price Point

the tuner's are however complete and utter garbage

here's a better idea harley benton
ur guitars and bass's are a great upgrade platform value

how about u keep the junk pot metal tuners next time and just discount the bass accordingly,i think u would be suprised how many orders you would get for guitars without tuners, pickups, or even bridges because players tend to swap these components out regardless and we're just filling up landfills with poor quality pot metal hardware that shouldn't be wasted in the first place

maybe offer 1 or 2 models to guage the interest

but offer them finished but without the low quality electronics/tuners

allowing the customer to add there own

however make stipulations where customer's can't modify the tuner peg hole's stuff like that for your return etc

or make the product non returnable

but offer one strat or single cut style guitar but without the low quality stuff loaded and have that also be reflected in the price of the product and i think you would be suprised

it would be like opening up a harley benton custom shop
but on a reasonably priced scale

so long story short the stock tuner's are about to go in the trash in canada

had to replace them with Profile tuners, bass plays amazingly well after i oiled the fretboard and it's time to slappa da bass

Honestly you can't go wrong with this.

The usual set up job and it plays great. No finish flaws at all. Tuners are better than I expected, so Thomann is listening! Acoustic sound is super resonate and the pickup and EQ set up is good. Just have it far enough away from the amp to avoid feedback.

If you are on the fence on an acoustic bass or a fretless electric bass like I was, buy a Harley Benton. You won't be out a ton of money to get a quality bass to try out. Best entry level instruments out there for the cash.

Great job Harly Benton and Thomann!

It does exactly what its supposed to and does it well. Accidentally brought two and there are some minor differences in build quality around the 'sound holes'; both were rough and one hole on one guitar had a little nick but seriously for the money... its not like something that makes a difference or isn't easily fixed.

One arrived in tune like it had been tested the other had never been tuned probably so maybe a quality control issue I would never have known existed if I hadn't brought two. Both outer boxes were damaged, one had a hole right through it and out the other side - thankfully not where the bass was, maybe consider using a more delicate parcel service?
