This is my first experience with harley benton instruments and thomann in general and om glad to say that I am pleasantly surprised.
The bass feels quite sturdy and well built. It did have some small cosmetic issues on the finish but nothing major at all.
No fret sprout (frets also feel fine)
The knobs feel okay. Not scratchy or anything like that.
The tuners aren't the best but they absolutely get the job done.
I keep this bass in drop a and it has stayed like that since I got it.
The picks sound fine,. not great, not bad. At least with a clean tone.
I feel like the p-bass pick is the stronger of the two. Alot more low end.
BUT with a bit of drive this bass sounds huge.
The finish on this bass looks very cool but it does feel very fragile and prone to scratches and the like.
But overall I am more than pleased with this for the time being
