«  good bass for START »

Then, already bah I bought it in lefty, it changes nothing about the production but I still said,
Basswood body
Maple neck
Rosewood
A micro and a micro JB PB
Active Electronics
Mechanical oil bath
Chrome hardware
3 knobs "tone"
and a volume knob

UTILIZATION

then, already, contrary to some opinions, mine was playable when I received it, the setting was well done and asser finish, nothing to say
without telling it is (I think) really beautiful in black transparent like that :)
I have 3 years, and apart from changing strings I never touched anything on this bass and it sounds just as good, the welds are still holding (unlike some harley benton)

I play with different styles, from blues to funk and other metal / death
and, frankly micro active are really good for bottom lines

the handle is pretty good, and balancing it yours too well, it is also asser light (unlike my BC Rich warlock) finally good that is not comparable;

SOUNDS

I like the sounds good, powerful and asser hot I would say, but what really got me most is that even with a distortion, reverb, or other, the bass still well able to follow
I do not have much to say about the sound, since I'm quite satisfied

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years, and yet no technical failure and frankly, for a harley benton, compared to the reputation of that mark, I am satisfied, a good bass to start
freighted with its handle 24 and an acute access to properly clear, I would say the price / quality ratio is really good
