All user reviews for the Harley Benton MB22-2T

We will not s'tendre on pdigre of the beast: it is the Asian gives and the instrument is a copy of JazzBass. Classic! ..
Mcaniques that take the deal, adjustable bridge, routing standard: no surprises except the price (careful I am rpter of America).

USE

Offered by a friend who was tired of hearing me rler the fact that I was missing a bass electric.
Channel enjoyable (I'm a guitarist, bassist, but also for my characters records), not tiring for my small hands.
Having no bass amp at home, I will not judge dfinitivement the sound quality. But after having used in qques records (between pop and rock): I still baba!
How an instrument that price it may also be blameless ???
At first I thought change the pickups, but after two months of use, I find that doing very good job. Okay, maybe a is not a pair of Bartos ... but the price !!!

SONORITS

Sonorits level, there is the usual range of Jazzbass. The knobs are probably not the most rguliers the world, but I find the carefree recherchs sounds.
I often used to rock (we drop a little serious, we take a mdiator is placed the beast at the knees and rolls!), So a little raw sonorits or she r responds very well.
It also reacts very well to the finger on sonorits more variety 'or jazzouille.
Bluff j'vous said!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 2 months.
I started music there 15-20 years, an era where we could find no instruments in this price range and or even the suprieures ranges sometimes ugly rservaient well surprises. Today it is possible thanks to Asian productions find instruments:
1. fair and take into agreement
2. with a real sound (not running backs microphones bricols)
3. Finished well
4. Rates ha-llu-listed nants
The report qualitPrix ??? I can not believe it. I had the opportunity to test qques other instruments of Harley Benton and many (not all even when) gave me the same impression.
The QualitPrix report this instrument is simply inconceivable for the price of a rope and mcaniques game, you are offered the bass goes with it!
I do not for one second hsiterais recommend this bass all those who need such a tool to relax or start low. For purists, obviously, it may miss qqchose (especially in terms of prestige).
I ended up putting 10/10 becaufe for less than 100 (and after 2 months of use), I still can not get over it.

Squeaker.

USE

- Is the handle enjoyable?
The neck is super enjoyable. I bought the era only to have a low (i was the only guitarist era) but having played several models today Harley Benton always surprises me as much .dropoff window

- The access to acute (desti- nations most recently freight) is it easy?
has arrived from the dpasser 5ime bass box? (Pout pout)

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
It's heavier than a guitar, so has hurt shoulders. As against the weight is very well rparti.

- Gets it easy to sound good ...?
Yes rglages are simple: turn the knobs and in theory, it sounds

9/10 for these reasons

SONORITS

- Appropriate your style of music?
it sounds very basic, bassist n'tant not full time, going to me very well. I play rock, groovy stuff and vaguely jazz.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
the Kustom KBA100 my bass player.
8/10: always the same, for the price sounds great.

NOTICE GLOBAL

- How long have you use it?
boah 1 and a half ladle

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The most I would say the ease of handle and easy rglages (not like some basses)
No particular weak point: nothing is really good but this price is all done right.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
None. on the other hand for the anecdote, we used it for recording my rock band becaufe suited us better than our Yamaha bass.

- How do you report qualitprix?
I wonder if we can do better in this price range.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice ...?
It all depends on the budget, but for that price without hsiter!

9/10 for overall opinion: I am seduced (for a Harley Benton, and believed that?)

I bought ay thomann on top and not at all

UTILIZATION

the neck is very nice

it is a bit heavy compared to other ad model that I had tried before
and when you loose it leans on the side of the key

SOUNDS

she should totally sound level (whether in negligence or in acute)

OVERALL OPINION

I use for 1 year

d in model 2 had tried before the acquisition to model and I have found no difference

I love that handle the + and its
what I love - the weight
there is still a very good value for money

a single fold to the plate as one complaint.
the handle is very comfortable to play. typed fender.
lets get it under control.

SOUNDS

I bought it primarily for fun with a low, men finally I used all the time. I fai catches her with.
for the price, simply amazing. jai course changed the original strings for warmick. set the bridge and cettai party. I still voi allucinant sound of the bass on my guitar amp guitar rig then um preamp with bass.
the two microphones are complementary, rather a heavy one, severe (handle), the other pretty accurate (bridge). can vary the volume of each as desired. (Jaime many pickup setting a bottom and a half lautre, good sound ... pti made in Sublime). the tone is very effective, we pass a sound with a lot of presence ...
is not the best low market but for the price it is very effective.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable.
Access in acute is easy.
Trs enjoyable to play sitting, the weight is normal.
The sound is good, there is not a tight range of sounds but the sounds are good trs.
Update 3 + years.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four months.
She is beautiful and well finished, it is enjoyable to play.
I tried a few dj bass, but I never possd one.
The price quality ratio is amazing. Guitarist for 20 years it gives me Discoveries as a player of the bass.
I assure you that the price is thundering over quality, that can really play with this bass (individually or in groups), which can also register.
It is on when you're high on some trs RVer a Fender, but for learning it well trs.
I have a bass amp jou Marlboro (vintage transistors) or direct the sound.
Exprience with the choice I would do the same, plutt twice that.

Small update, three years later, I replaced the microphone by a severe precision home bass line (by shielding the body, otherwise it micro parasite), now my wife and playing with has sent the fire god in a 115 ampeg ba

I bought the Harley Benton Thomann set 3 a month ago

There's the bag, strap, cable and amplifier as well as HB-80B bass MB22-2T
I also took an electronic tuner - all for 240 pounds - so cheap
I feel good about the price.

The set is a good starting point for beginners like me
Small investment - but he thinks he should run to make changes.
Good to see if we will not fall laissser after 3 months

The cable supplied is thrown away - it is picking up interference and noise if you move

The MB22-2T is fairly well
A little heavy, not well equilibrated trs - from the neck down if you loose.
The original pickups pick up a lot of buzz 50Hz
I broke a string at the end of two days - my fault I'm too tense
- Replaced by GHS Flea that give better sound.
I have no experience with other brands.

I'll replace the pickups with Dimarzio DP123BK to try to eliminate the buzz and get better sound
As soon as I mount the Dimarzio pickups, I'll add a comment.

The amp is a HP 12 "- 20Kg but began cracking nuisance
I think it's the on / off switch that is internal arcs - I'll change it
I am a computer tech - so tinkering is not a problem

Notice therefore mitigbr /> Material of a rather well - but rather average quality

UTILIZATION

See above

SOUNDS

I am beginners - so no opinion compared to other materials
His is 50hz buzz

OVERALL OPINION

1 month

See other view, any adj t say that.

UTILIZATION

Well, I'll immediately prciser I'm not a real bass player but a guitarist who wants to try out the 4-string, and I do not have this bass for a long time, so this is a first notice.

- The handle is it enjoyable? Yes, in my humble opinion as a guitarist, it is enjoyable, easy to play, do not worry this ct-l.

- Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy? Not specially, because the heel (but is rcurrent Fender, it's the same on my Start); That said I started the bass so I was not too had the opportunity to go so high!

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? This is a copy of Jazz Bass, so in terms of form, not much to say. Weight is also reasonable and low, although not perfectly balance (but with a strap does not feel almost) enjoyable to play.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ... Not with the original strings anyway. If the strings of the, r and ground are saying "drinking", the middle should be a piece of cable so the sound is rcupration dgueulasse. However, having prvu the coup, I quickly replaced by the strings Warwick Red Label, and t aa day and night!
Super enjoyable emphasize a point: the bass perfectly RULES happened in terms of intonation (each string empty and its natural setting the 12th case are perfectly correct)

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music? At the risk of rpter, I am based guitarist, so comments on bass, trying to touch everything. However, for the little that I use, this bass seems plutt versatile.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? I took a small pack of Thotho with Harley Benton amp 20 watts, and a multi-effects Zoom B1 to play with headphones.
- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)? By acting on the volume knob microphones & Tone of the attack (finger, m diator, slap) gives dj basic palette of sounds cool, the crystalline fat. With a multi-effects carrment is bluffing, the possibilities are huge!
- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? All sounds have their charm ... But I have a weakness for greasy type sounds hard rock, and a multi-effects, with a simulated Ampeg for example, sends!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? Just a few days, I RPET, it is only printing Premire ... J'diterai probably the future.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least? The more ... Dj's easy to play and get her ready-made drinking quickly. And I love the look Jazz Bass. The least, the finishing is not without reproach (but for the price, could it be otherwise?) And the original strings that are worthless.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir? Some low of friends, quickly, but none that I could buy for 100, then a has no intrt. I would just say that if ct Obviously sound of a real 1962 Precision sounds better ^ ^ ct ergonomics, I found this bass at least as enjoyable to play than anything I could try.
- How do you report qualitprix? Simply unbeatable. Obviously the quality is not that of a Fender Japan, but for 98 (which is ridiculous) even when it was all a trick done dcent.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? As this is a bass for beginners, and given the budget I wanted to put, yes, definitely.

It is a beautiful Chinese copy of Jazz Bass,
21 frets, jazz bass pickups,
1 volume micro "hose", a volume micro "bridge" and a tone ...
sunburst finish that is successful and her little effect.

UTILIZATION

Having tried a few "real" Fender (us, & mex jap), she approaches it much. I have not noticed any difference annoying.
The handle is nice and the finish does not interfere with the slides, it plays easily provided to change the strings. They come standard are really hard.
It's not the bass that is the lightest but it gives him a little aside: "I have the stuff".
Originally it ... way, it sounds you need for a low of less than 100 €, but the trick is that it has potential: once with a string of games is going well, and settings that go well ... beautiful!

SOUNDS

It was settled at once both versatile and easy-to-slapper. Basically I need to be careful not to make curling but otherwise it's a wonder! In fact, she impressed some sellers Stras ... Harley Benton not only makes good guitars but also I was fortunate to fall on the model that sounds good!
It does not with HB 20W amp which is really nothing. But two months since I played on a Fender Rumble 100 and this amp so much that improves the comparison with real Jazz Bass to hurt vendors mentioned above! For now no need to pedal and preamp, amp settings are enough for me and playing with both pickups and the tone knob there is a well defined. Pickup at the bottom and the rest to zero have a well that even a metal drummer does not unleashed! Neck pickup tone and bottom 75% is a well rounded and warm! And the "very bottom" to try to play the Flea! As against the knob of tone tends to interfere if you put a bottom.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost a year I have and I'm still happy! I started with and I Perfect with ... I'm not about to part with it! The side is really nice to have a low price / quality ratio literally unbeatable!
After that, everything is relative, it is still not a low premium and not even approaching brands such as Rickenbacker, Musicman and Warwick. Notament in terms of gameplay. But the essential and it is not ridiculous! Especially since I removed the pick guard that I found too ugly ...
I did not try a lot of bass before buying it but after! And the more it goes, the more I said I would buy a high quality that until later and this one is enough.
With the experience I do not know if I bought the same ... downside: no prestige! I think I would build on the mid-range type or C4 Cort Ibanez BTB 550 ... but as a beginner you just close your eyes to go! And what is about is that I do not regret a single moment!

What country does she makes? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

Jazzbass shape, this bass is surprisingly light (wooden?) but very well balanced upright.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...

I am not an expert in low, but I soon got the rock sound that I was missing. mics are quite specific for this price range. the output level is good also

I tried IBANEZdes CORT and some other models squier.

How do you report qualitprix?
report quality price is excellent as I repeat I am PASD bassist and my requirements are limited. for what I have done this bass is perfect and I Reue perfectly well adjusted. like all the other instruments of this brand that I stink commendam

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
Obviously

It seems like an Asian. I bought this pack: https://www.thomann.de/fr/thomann_bass_set_b7.ht, the information on the website (Sorry but I do not know all its characteristics.: X) I can not put a note higher, since I never tested the other low, if not that of a guitar teacher friend who is an antique ^ ^

UTILIZATION

Personally handle, nothing to say, a good slide on it, and you can play for a couple of hours without suffering. : P To form, and bah is a Fender Jazz bass type eh, weight and fairly well balanced, and it is not so heavy, you can play with the strap problems. Access to acute, not complain, it's not the most used notes, but no need to be a contortionist to get there. : D After the sound, as stated above, I is not had the chance to try other basses, but the piece I played really resembles the original piece, you close your eyes and ... THE FLEA! And no it's me bah. x)

SOUNDS

I play a bit of everything, and it fits pretty well, it's versatile, and if we play well with the tone and the equalizer amp, you will want. (I remember that my amp is supplied in the pack: https://www.thomann.de/fr/harley_benton_hb40b.htm)

OVERALL OPINION

His will made 3 months now I use my first bass, and I am perfectly satisfied. In addition she has a mouth, it's a juggernaut, but is light in when you play the strap, the very serious note, it will shake the beast, that limit exciting. : D for low to even 100 €, it is not to say it is really great, I advise to beginners, there are really enough to make noise. : D And of course the melody. : P Of course I'll probably grow and change one day, but I choose to do it again with pleasure. It gives a bad image of the brand, but I greatly appreciate. But I repeat myself, I'll advice.
