Harley Benton PB-Shorty BK Standard Set 1

At this price the outfit is unbelievable value for money. I have quite a few guitars but this is my first bass. I did plenty of research so I had a good idea what to expect - I had to do a bit of setting up to get the best results. When I received the package I noticed that one of the pickups was sitting too low, and when switched on the lower two strings were far too quiet to balance with the top two. As a result the whole outfit sounded quite distant and lacked power. Simple to sort out - I took the cover plate off and moved the bass pickup around by 180 degrees, which brought it up to the correct height. Then I replaced the strings with GHS flatwound stainless, tuned up and switched on. Wow - it sounds great now, half power is quite enough for my house. This thing sounds like a bass should - I love it. Just budget for better strings - mine cost 35% of the cost of the new outfit - something is wrong in the world's economy surely? Anyway well done Thomann - great value and very quick delivery to UK yet again.
