    I own a Harley Benton club

    Hi guys ! I bought my first bass 8 months ago, the PB-50 for 98€. I'm so pleased with it I'm gonna buy another bass next month, the BT-70VS (Thunderbird/LTD Phoenix PHX-204 copy). Here's a cover of Walking on the moon I made. I played with the PB-50, plugged in a guitar amp (Blackstar ID 100)...

    Thanks for your reply kodiakblair :) Yes, he does sound like me ! Ahah However avaibility of strings isn't a problem, I found some great short scale strings on the internet. 1-0 for the PB-20 over the shorty :bassist:

    Cheap bass for recording stuff - Harley Benton PB-20 vs PB-shorty

    Hi guys ! I bought my first bass a few months ago (I've been playing the guitar for 10 years) which is the Harley Benton PB-50 and I love it ! It's a bargain. For the price, it is the perfect bass to play classic rock, jazz and R'n'B but the single coil pup isn't really efficient for recording...

    Zoom G3 users : Preset for bass

    Hi everyone ! Is there anybody here who uses (or used) a G3 pedal with a bass ? What are (were) your presets ? :help: I personnaly use a bit of compression, room reverb and the zoom noise reductor.

    I own a Harley Benton club

    Hi Everyone ! I've played the guitar for 12 years (I'm 24) and I've just bought my first bass, a Harley Benton PB-50. For the price, it's a beauty ! I've always loved 51 P-Bass, especially Sting's one. The bass is really great and playable and the Wilkinson pickup doesn't deliver too much...

    Harley Benton PB-50 test (my first bass)

    Daddario nylon tapewound strings seem to be a great option (Plus they look good !) but my bass is a 45-100 and Daddario tapewound strings only exist in 50-105... Should I get 45-100 Elixir nanoweb or Daddario strings ? I usually put elixir strings on my two electric guitars... Thanks...

    Harley Benton PB-50 test (my first bass)

    I've just bought the Harley Benton PB-50 for 98€. It's my first bass but I've played guitar for 12 years. I didn't really know if a single coil pickup could do the job, without hum or noises. She's gorgeous ! The bass is really great and playable and the Wilkinson pickup doesn't deliver...

    Single coil vs split coil for my first bass

    I've finally got the PB-50. She's gorgeous ! The bass is really great and the Wilkinson pickup doesn't deliver too much hum... Perfect for the price ! I recorded through a Zoom G3 pedal. 'Gz & Hustlas' by Snoop Dogg (sample of 'Haboglabotribin' by Bernard Wright) : 'Aeroplane' by Red...
