Amazing bass for a more amazing price

RT Slinger 10.04.2019

To start my name is Rob aka RT Slinger a bass player of over 50 years.
I was watching a video and someone was reviewing this Harley Benton B-450 Progressive 4 string.
Now I have many brands of bass guitar in my collection of 17, but this one had some about the tone that really grabbed me.
So I contacted Thomann through this website and purchase the bass. Shipping to the US went smoothly no delays and the bass was in great shape when it arrived. I didn't need to do any set up it was great and no dead spots on the neck.
That tone I heard on the video was right there in my hands. I gig with the bass that same weekend and my band mates told me "just leave your other basses home", because of how well in set in the mix. The pros are many but the best is having a active bass that when the battery dies you can still use it in passive mode. Cons I truly haven't found anything that is wrong with this bass and I have held many, many bass in my 50 years of playing. Amazing job and I would and have told everyone what a great bass this is.
Thanks for a top quality bass at a incredibly affordable price point

Probably the best in the pricepoint

Rafail Louloudis, aka Bushido Music Productions 01.03.2022

My first bass, actually. Then i bought a Warwick.

It's extremely good for the price you pay. Never had a problem with tuning, and the fretboard feels very good. Slapped a pack of coated strings on it and been going strong for years. It's beautiful, the inlays are very cool, the sound from its double humbuckers is perfectly fine, and the fact that it's active/passive means i'm never gonna find myself in an awkward situation. Packs a bite

Now concerning the negatives, i only really have one. The neck and the first pickup don't really leave enough space between them for someone to double pluck. You can play slap, yes, but it's just a bit more limiting for my taste.

All in all though, this is probably the best bass a beginner could buy, and a bass that even someone with more experiance could really enjoy

Great for the price

MaliceFox 24.01.2020

For what you pay, This is a great investment for a newer player. Unfortunately mine had quite a bit of fret buzz until the local shop adjusted the truss rod and bridge a bit.Mine happened to come with a slightly warped neck per the pro shop. Now most of the buzz is gone. The tech at the shop was pretty shocked at the quality for the price, and he really liked the sound of the bass. The tone of the bass is fantastic through the HB-40B amp as well. The fretboard is very smooth, and the edges of the frets were rounded and polished nicely. The electronics cavity has electrical shielding as well, which i was surprised with given the low cost of the bass. I will be swapping out the strings soon as they do feel a bit gritty/rough when sliding your fingers across them. Not the worst strings, but certainly could be better. The fit and finish on everything is very nice, and there were no blemishes i could find. Not sure if it was supposed to come with it, but mine did not come with a 9v battery for the active pre-amp. Overall im really happy with the bass, and cant wait to play it more. For what I paid, and the quality I got, it was worth the almost 23 days shipping from Germany to the USA. Thank you Thomann!

Definitely a keeper!

Had this bass for 2 weeks now, and have never felt a better quality bass for this money in my life! It plays wonderfully and sounds great.
