Harley Bentons?

[matty78943]

after being on the hunt for a new bass to accompany my '06 wesley PB33 as its feeling lonely, i have found two final candidates, both from harley benton

1. Invalid Link Removed

i like this as its a jazz bass in a nice colour scheme (to me)

2. Invalid Link Removed

i was originally goning to get a p-bass and im thinking of respraying this candy apple red and adding chrome covers among other mods

so anyone got opinions as i dont mind paying more for a jazz bass as the p-bass will cost in upgrades so any owners out there want to chime in?

Have you ever painted a CAR finish? It can be a PITA. I'd just get one of these:

Looks nice but I'm in the UK, hence Thomann stuff

Hey @matty78943

Had both of those HB's. My JB-75 had the rosewood board,maple wasn't an option back then.Lovely bass,heavy but a lovely bass. Stick a different logo on and charge 3 times the price !! Folk would be raving about them I know quite a few folk who regularly gig JB-75's with no mods.Maybe a padded strap

PB-20 is a crazy cheap P-bass that plays/sounds like a P-bass Mine got the BEAD treatment then went to this young fella. Day after he got it this was posted so I guess he was happy.

Right... That thought did occur to me sometime after I left that post.

Quite agree. The J&D Surf Green 75 is a lovely looking bass.
