Anyone know Harley Benton Brand?

[rodv66]

I saw a CL listing for a Harley Denton 5 stringer. Looks like a MM clone and he wants 125$ I know nothing about the brand myself.

It's the house brand of Thomann:

I dropped the tuning on my Tbird to BEAD to learn a metal song and liked the sound, so was looking into a 5 string, but not sure if it was worth it to go look at it. thanks

Must be popular, guy sold it within 2 days of posting. There is a Peavey Millennium up for sale in Philly for 100, might try and get it when I get back from Vegas next week. I have been banned from bringing any pawn shop finds in Vegas by the wife.

Peavey Millennium ! Now I'm on familiar territory For $100 that'll be a BXP and possibly the active version .
Preamp's made by the same folks make the Spector "tone pump", sadly missing the USA Millennium dual mid pot.
It's a standard mid +/- pot but c'mon it's $100.

Hope it's still in Philly when you get back

HBs are amazing basses. my 70's vitnage jazz can go toe to toe with MIM and MIA fenders. i'm not kidding you. and i paid 150ish USD for it. new.
