This is the coolest little acoustic bass ever made
I moved to different country not long ago and needed some tool to practice and do songwriting stuff on the go without putting heavy load on my wallet. So I bought this thing because it seemed affordable and good looking.
The truth is it is really fun to play Harley Benton U-Bass. That what I unexpectedly discovered the moment I pulled it from the nice gigbag included in the package.
It has surprisingly deep, almost throaty double-bass-like sound which I didn't expect from such a small instrument.
The tuning stability and intonation are decent. Onboard preamp and tuner both work good (2 CMOS-style battaries are included).
The frets are a bit scratchy on the ends (plastic neck binding doesn't help much here) but not drastically. There are also some minor (barely visible) finish imperfections.
All in all I wish I could've got it years ago.

Very nice bass for its price
I wanted to buy a bass guitar and I had to choose between electric bass that fits my electric guitar visual style and this ubass. I wanted something special so ordered this one. I regret nothing)

I love it.
I got it for noodling around, having a super portable bass (the other bass I have is a six string), and just for a different sound to have.
It makes you play different (duuh), also you can reach intervals you couldn't before.
The E and A strings were a little buzzy, so I had to raise the strings (release the truss rod - counter clockwise turns, 90 degrees at a time).
The tuner is great, the preamp seems versatile.
The reason for 4 stars in quality was that the first one I got had a bridge problem - thinner strings sounded wayyyy louder than the fatter ones. I found a fix for it online, but having just gotten the instrument, I went for replacing it and keeping my warranty. People at Thomann were super helpful and in some time I received my replacement and it was great!
It's a lot of instrument, especially for this price. Definitely a recommend

This thing rocks
If you are looking for a tiny cheap bass, you might consider this u-bass. It sound ok unplaged, but quite impressive when it's plugged into the amp.
4th string wasn't as loud as others. But I fixed it just by pushing the suddle and it solved the problem.

Harley Benton UkeBass Mahogany
The instrument is great. The tuning holds and sounds amazing. I highly recommend it. Sounds very good with the cable as well, but I prefer recording it with a mic.

Great Uke Bass for the price
It is perfect overall. I had to polich the frets and oli the freadboard and the bridge. I also chagend the screwes on the back plate, as they were too small and started to screw into the cover plate.

Great Ukebass for beginners and pro
Once a wise man said: "Life is what YOU make it". That is what I felt when I grabbed the Harley benton UkeBass for the first time. I knew that I had to practice but it felt good. I have been playing bass on and off for 40 years and this is the second Time that I fell instantly in love with an instrument. The first time was when I got the HB 6 string progressive series. It is very rare to find so good instrument at so low price. Great job Thomann!

Great quality for the price
this is how I got my start playing bass and eventually made my way up to playing metal and rock, has great sound quality and if it's plugged in to an audio interface it's hard to tell the difference between it and an electric (there is enough of a difference to make it worth using in certain genres) and generally is a great way to learn and practice bass
