An afforable start for unplugged musicians

Harley Benton HBO-850 acoustic bass guitar

The Harley Benton HBO-850 Bass Natural is a four-string acoustic bass that offers an affordable point of entry into the world of unplugged music. The instrument's round back ensures comfortable playability without the player needing much time to get used to it, even if they are coming from the electric bass. Even a pickup including a four-band EQ and a tuner are included. The HBO-850 is an attractive and flexible companion for all those looking for an acoustic bass that they can start playing right away without having to dig too deep into their pocket. In addition to the HBO-850 Bass, this bundle also includes a padded gig bag with external accessory pockets and backpack straps.

Smart combination of materials

The top of the HBO-850 is made of spruce and the body of a composite material called ABS. The latter is shaped into a curved "Super Shallow Bowl" form which fits comfortably against the upper body and arm and makes for comfortable playability as well as perfect ergonomics. ABS is of course also mostly unaffected by climatic fluctuations, which is particularly important when playing outdoors. For easy access to the upper registers and to fully utilise the potential of all 20 frets on the roseacer fingerboard, the HBO-850 also features a cutaway for the fretting hand. The mahogany neck sports a modern C-profile, making you quickly feel at home as well. The HBO-850 cuts a fine figure when amplified thanks to its pickup system and four-band EQ. This allows the sound to be adjusted to suit the individual needs of the player, and annoying feedback can be avoided as well. All the while, the integrated tuner keeps everything at the right pitch.

Acoustic or amplified? Or both?

The Harley Benton HBO-850 Bass Natural is clearly aimed at musicians who appreciate an acoustic instrument with an authentic look and sound. The HBO-850 features a pickup system with an integrated four-band EQ should you need to use an amplifier, but it's otherwise loud enough for use at home or around the campfire - so you are well-prepared for any situation. Since acoustic basses are often used as second instruments, you won't want to re-acclimatise yourself too much or invest a lot of money, and all of this has been taken into account in the design and pricing of the HBO-850.
