Hello, I'm sorry to quote after a year but I'm researching the best quality/price option and I've come across this vintage brand that I don't know at all. I have seen that you speak very highly of them but these versions that you speak of either do not exist anymore or are already new ones, the...

Well, in the next chapter I have done the part that I regret, the relicing due to the type of paint has not been the best option, but I think I have managed to save the situation a little, in the end I think I liked how it turned out. As a whole I'll give you photos of the process. Next...

Indeed, there you can see perfectly the dense layer of beige or wood-colored polyurethane, which covers the natural beta, I did not want to leave it on wood completely since I wanted to make a relic type of Sting's bass precision and I would not know how to paint it with the effect sunburst...

In my case I did not want to paint on top, but rather a delicate aging, where I painted with nitro is on the neck, which is natural wood without lacquer

The next step I have taken on the bass, after shielding the electronic area, would be the refinishing of both the neck, which I want to varnish with nitrocellulose, and the body of the bass. I think this is one of the worst decisions I have made about the bass. but until you move forward you...

You are right, changing the potentiometers does not change the bass sound ratio at all, however the capacitors do, but you have to change the value of the capacitor to notice the difference as you can see in this magnificent video. When you change the value of the capacitor with the tone...

Really, what makes the pj 74 most attractive to me is especially because the price is very similar and it already has the aesthetic finish of the perfect vintage white, getting it similar with the spray is complicated but well, I will consider both options until the time comes! For pickups I...

It could be a very interesting option, I hadn't thought of it! Is there a lot of technical difference with the hb pj 74? apart from being PJ or the color?

spanish!

https://www.talkbass.com/threads/i-have-modified-a-harley-benton-and-i-love-it.1649304/ Hello everyone!! I have opened a thread with my hb.pb50 project, it is my first Harley Benton bass and it has made me think about buying another one... to make a project for a precision bass in Olympic...

You are absolutely right, buying the CTS potentiometers is a waste of money, but changing the capacitor is a good option apart from putting in better wiring, even so I take it as a learning experience.

Now we are going to see the electronics, in this case they are the basics of a precision, which is why it is very very simple and because we want to give it a more "professional" or higher quality touch. I have decided to buy the kits that TAD sells. TAD Wiring Kit for P-Style Bass Which is...

Thank you so much!!! I hope you like the project or at least find it interesting. My opinion regarding the sound is that WOW the moment you put on quality flat strings such as Labella, GHS or TI. I don't have audio clips of the original bass, but on YouTube there are a thousand and one videos...

Hello! First of all I apologize for my Google Translator English, as it is not my native language and I have a lot of problems writing it. In this case I want to show you little by little the modifications that I have made to a Harley Benton PB - 50 bass. I will tell you my opinion both for and...
