Harley Benton TB-70 SBK Deluxe Series

Let me start by saying I am in the United States and the shipping was fast. Received it in 3 days. Opened the carton and this thing Harley Benton bass is beautiful, nice satin black finish. The volume and tone pots feel solid and tight. The machine heads are good quality and the reversed headstock looks amazing. To my surprise right out of the box this thing played great. Didn't need to adjust anything and played good. Surprisingly it was in tune. The neck feels and plays great. Neck is smooth and fast. Again the satin black finish really catches your eye.
Plugged it in to a amp and to my amazement, this bass has a awesome sound. From a nice solid rock sound to a full out metal sound. The pickups have a really great range of tones. And again the playability is comfortable and smooth. Great job Harley Benton!
Thanks Thomann for your service and a great addition to my bass collection.

First off I want to get this out front, I LOVE this bass. It looks and plays amazingly but I had an issue with the electronic's on the bass right out of box. As soon as I plugged it in and touched the volume pot I knew I had issues. But through the magic talking to customer service and taking it to my local electronic's repairman (Thanks Clay!) I am happy to report this bass is rock and roll thunder machine!!

The issue I had was with the volume knob ( which was a push/pull knob) it was severely bent and the active electronic's were very noisy due to a broken solder joints. I thought this was odd because the bass was in flawless condition cosmetically. Replacing the knob and cleaning up the electronic connections yielded a proper sounding bass with OODLES of tones courtesy of the active electronics. The neck thru the body design gives you the feel of solidness and gives incredible sustain. The bass does have some neck dive but that's the cost of looking cool while playing this bass.

This is my 7th Harley Benton Bass/Guitar and this has been the first issue I have encountered with the brand. Will it deter me from future purchases, Nope. Another home run Harley Benton/Thomann

We've been meaning to order from Thomann for some time. Finally took the plunge. So glad we did. The order process was smooth and the bass arrived in only 10 days to Australia in perfect condition. Double boxed too.
The bass is amazing!
The matte black finish is perfect, the frets are smooth. It looks killer!
I love the neck profile. Suits my playing down to a T. Sounds great played either fingerstyle or with a pick.
Lower volume pickups than I expected however they are clear as crystal, no buzz or humm. Extremely clean.
All in all, an excellent introduction to the Harley Benton brand.
This is unfortunate for our wallet however, as we will definitely be return customers. Thanks guys.
We are looking forward to our next one already!

Back in the 90's when I started playing there was nothing in this price point that could play remotely as well as this one can. Compared to Squier, LTD and Ibanez GIO this thing takes the cake. Fast shipping, great customer service and an amazing product. I bought this for my son for his fist bass and he loves it. Its a little headstock heavy like most thunderbird style basses but it sounds MASSIVE and plays buttery smooth. Only had to tune the strings out of the box, setup and intonation were perfect. Total price for me was less than $300usd shipped to VA. I'm going to buy another guitar from these guys definitely.
