NBD - Harley Benton MV-4P

I received this MV-4P a few weeks ago and delayed this NBD post to see how it would turn out. Out of the box, the fret work wasn't good enough to get the action in my preferred range. I weighed my options and ended up having it Plek'd. I replaced the electronics with parts I had in stock, including a Lindy Fralin standard wound pickup, 250k CTS pots, a .047 oil-filled capacitor, and a Switchcraft jack.

Currently strung with a DR Hi-Beam 45 - 105 set. This bass can probably keep up with my Mike Lull P4. It has exceeded all of my expectations.
