The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

I guess I can play this game...
Cheap (well, reasonably so) import #1 (and obviously my "avatar")

Cheap (again, relatively) import #2:

How’s the Harley Benton?
This is from my post on the Harley Benton Club page:

Well I got my MB-4 in the other day. I'm really impressed with the build quality of this bass. The neck feels really nice and not rough like some Ray 4s I have played. I did have to take it to a luthier to get some fret ends filed and a new nut put on. The action at the nut was pretty bad. After getting a proper set up, the bass plays great! I put flats on the bass (chromes) and changed the pickguard and control plate screws to black. I think this bass is an amazing value and stands up easily to the Sterling by Music Man Ray 4 basses. As far as playability, it has nice low action and is easy to play. It's not as good as my Warmoth P basses, but we're talking about a $235 bass (shipped and setup) vs a $1300 bass. All in all I am very pleased and now have a nice giggable stingray style bass for little money.

Did my first jam with the new AI yesterday and it was incredible. I freakin love this amp. I used a different 1x10. Then this EA. It also kicks butt through the 4x12. Since it’s 2 ohm stable I could run all 3 of my cabs if I ever need to lol
But yesterday its was just the single 10 w/ basslite. 8 ohm and the amp pushing around 300 watts. Hit hard and driving for 3 hrs straight and it barely got warm. My new love. Really its amazing. It also has built in verb which was simply beautiful with the fretless. Thank you AI !
