Harley Benton P-Bass Copy.
I was more than pleasantly surprised by this bass. I bought it on a whim as I had loved their jazz bass copy which I bought second hand for practically nothing and gigged into the ground. For such inexpensive instruments Harley Benton seriously know how to produce a bass that is worth atleast 5 times what you pay for them. I have used their jazz bass copy for over 2 years and their P-bass copy since I received it a month ago and I have never had a singly problem with them despite gigging with them regularly and having them thrown under busses, planes and on the floor on occasion.
Pros:
Frets are all level and neck is smooth with no marks or dents
Tuning pegs are smooth and surprisingly strong and sturdy
The single P-bass pickup is hotter and much better than anticipated
Looks really cool too
Cons:
It's considerably lighter than my other basses and the wiring of the pots and pickup are fairly thin but they're easily replaceable so this isn't really much of a con.
Overall this is a fantastic inexpensive bass that it worth it's weight in gold, it's hard to find a reasonably priced lefty P Bass and this ticks all the boxes for me as a fantastic instrument, cheers!

Great bass for all level bass players
I need a P for session playing and recording. I recieved bass quickly. do fretwork job, intonation, action and change the pup to alnico "Fokin PB" (its our russian custom shop pickup's maker) and now i have sound similar to a precision '62 for 130 euro-bass+shipping+new pickup)! absolutely love! highly recommended!!! thx thomann.de!

A work horse!
Came out of the box ready to rock. The construction is solid just as you'd expect from a P.bass, the pickups are warm and has a good mid/low range. I'd recommend a pot swap, I've installed some CTS 250K for both volume and tone and the thing came alive...great improvement for less than £13. This is a great instrument overall (for the price).

Excellent Value for Money
I mostly play guitar and wanted to also have a bass.
I bought this P-Bass and I think it has amazing value for it's cost. There's nothing wrong with it, Neck, frets, tuning stability is great. After all it's a simple, standard P-bass, which is kinda barebones by design.

Great value!
I bought this as my first bass so I didn?t want something too expensive. This is a solid beginners bass that looks and feels way more expensive than it is. Very happy with it.
Delivery was fast and the product came in perfect condition.
