Value For Money : Excellent
Everything has already been said in the first review, I will not plagiarize.

Nothing more to say impressive for the price.

However I ordered a first low, the left wing was in 2 parts (very ugly) and there was a pet on the handle, the jack farted after a disconnection branches. The second, the wood is beautiful, it looks like a far lower luthier! In contrast, the second jack that is also low farted, I contacted Thomann who offered me a return, but finding them very long I decided to do it myself, they sent me the parts for free. But now, after another month of use, the volume knob crack ... This blow it thomann did not want a refund, then after a few emails and forcing complaints, they agreed to resume my bass to fix it, I insisted to get the free shipping (they n were not very hot).

Large setbacks but now apart from the problem of mass lower than quoted I quickly corrected, no problem!

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, although thinner than my Cort Action bass (which is a very good bass, I found a really cool compared to others I've tried since) maius still less pleasant than my old cort artisan c5 which has a very fine handle. In short we can say more than a handle correct.

The weight is reasonable, always compared to my other 2 basses. (The c5 is much heavier), fasteners straps are well positioned and offers a good performance standing as sitting.

I do not ride very often in very treble registers but they seem very accessible. The handle is very comfortable through the back of the bass.

Personal for her I put everything in the middle and I rule my amp. Actual mass of my bass seems average, not bad when it sizzles I no longer touch the strings, I must correct it.

SOUNDS

I play mostly jazz and metal top. The settings of the bass, I use very little can still with a bit of bass and a choice of micro switch from one register to another.

Adept at tapping, I set no problem offering me sound cool and pleasant comfort.

# DGCFA granted, I do not play in effects but only with my Peavy amp fire ball. The bass output level very correct, not exaggerated like my Pedulla spitting too much ...

The harley benton sounds quite acute and medium, I do not hesitate to boosted bass lacking a bit of roundness.

OVERALL OPINION

A year ago I use.

I tried a lot of bass, and it is the only one with a handle across, very nice and fun to play. I do not regret at all.

The value for money is excellent, one wonders why other brands do not make cheap products that qulité ... This bass is very low 3 times more expensive? Once again, I am fully satisfied with the high quality harley benton.

Without considering my problems after the reception, I consider this purchase as excellent.
