Pleasantly surprised
Joeysha 22.08.2022
This is my first experience with harley benton instruments and thomann in general and om glad to say that I am pleasantly surprised.

The bass feels quite sturdy and well built. It did have some small cosmetic issues on the finish but nothing major at all.
No fret sprout (frets also feel fine)
The knobs feel okay. Not scratchy or anything like that.
The tuners aren't the best but they absolutely get the job done.
I keep this bass in drop a and it has stayed like that since I got it.
The picks sound fine,. not great, not bad. At least with a clean tone.
I feel like the p-bass pick is the stronger of the two. Alot more low end.
BUT with a bit of drive this bass sounds huge.

The finish on this bass looks very cool but it does feel very fragile and prone to scratches and the like.

But overall I am more than pleased with this for the time being

Perfect introduction to 5 string bass!
CoveredInSound 17.10.2022
My first 5 string and I couldn't be happier!

Set up was fine out of the box, no sharp fret edges or anything. Action is good and the neck smooth and accessible up to the highest fret. The P pickup purrs but has some bite if needed and J adds more clarity if you want it.

Build quality is very good and the finish is perfect. The B string is pretty solid, certainly good enough for gigging.

All in all I'm delighted with my first 5 string.

Amazing bass
Xander Green 23.07.2022
This 5 string bass is the best bass for beginners everything is amazing about it apart from the slight fret rattle that can be fixed easily with the included Alan key

5 String version is ok
OliAction 04.12.2022
For the price I can't complain. The overall sound is good(not great). The weight and balance is ok-ish. The B string on this bass is useless though. Even with a good setup after purchase(this is needed) the B string lacks power and punch. The neck pickup is too low and there is no way to lift it( unless you go full rebuild). I give this an overall 3 stars, because of the price. It's a beginner base and once you are more advanced you'll need to move on. I have a 4 string HB as well and that gets a 4 stars from me.

Another Great HB Guitar
Dougie Campbell 29.08.2023
As usual the guitar was really well packed for delivery by Thomann.
I have never owned a 5 string bass guitar before. Previously only played 4 string basses, so this guitar is a bit of a change for me.
Virtually no issues with the guitar, except for me snapping a string while tuning up (always a pain).
However I always plan to change strings straight away, so I bought a set of D'Addarios to restring it.
The guitar played great, straight out the box. Action / intonation great.
So good, one of my friends has asked me to order him the 4 string version, with a HB 40W amp same as I have just purchased.
Thomann will be pleased with the repeat business.

Pickups output level
M. Salem 04.12.2022
The pickups output level is too low (at leas on mine), and some frets are a bit sharp on the edges other than that the frets are nicely leveled, so nothing major. Overall it's a nice bass.

HB did it again
BlackCathedral 05.09.2024
Flawless 1st and 12th fret intonation after a setup, great sounding pickups with a hot signal, no sharp fret ends, deep black colour. How HB manages this on their budget, I have no idea.
