Exotic looks and versatile sound

Electric bass with active electronics

For quite some time, Harley Benton instruments have been synonymous with excellent quality for those on a budget. The Harley Benton HBZ-2004 electric bass is no exception, showcasing a striking natural look with ovangkol body wings and a seven-piece through-neck adorned with a 24-fret walnut fingerboard. To ensure that the entire neck is accessible, the lower cutaway of the body with its sweeping contours is extra deep to ensure a comfortable playing experience for bass solo afficionados. Active electronics with two ceramic bar pickups in turn provide a highly varied range of tones, while the four-way bridge ensures an optimum transfer of the strings' resonance to the body.

Two pickups and active electronics

The Harley Benton HBZ-2004 features body wings crafted from two pieces of ovangkol and a seven-piece neck section made from a mix of mahogany, maple, and nato. Not only does it boast an eye-catching appearance, but its active electronics including two ceramic bar pickups also make it versatile enough to capably handle a range of musical styles. These pickups harmonise beautifully with the attractive wood combination, and the sound can be easily adjusted thanks to the ergonomically placed volume and tone knobs. The HBZ-2004 boasts a seamless neck-to-body transition and features a finely textured black walnut fingerboard that is adorned with subtly elegant oval abalone inlays.

Striking beauty

With its affordable price tag, the Harley Benton HBZ-2004 bass is perfect for beginners who are on a restricted budget but still desire a high-quality, natural aesthetic. Behind its appealing exterior lies a versatile electric bass that, thanks to its active electronics and duo of ceramic bar pickups, is capable of delivering a range of sounds from soft and mellow to heavy and intense. Even gigging musicians who are on the lookout for a well-built and visually appealing backup instrument that will easily cut through the mix in a band context might well find the Harley Benton HBZ-2004 to be a charming companion for rehearsals and performances.

ich habe den bass gerade ausgepackt und bespielt und mein erstes fazit... für den preis ein hammer. er sieht nicht nur gut aus, sondern auch der sound ist echt super! die werkseinstellungen sind auch gut gemacht... saitenlage sehr gemütlich spielbar, bünde schön abgerichtet...

einziges manko... der sattel ist sehr roh, aber mit feile und schleifpapier kann man das selbst in kurzer zeit beheben.
alles in allem eine empfehlung wert.

also ich bin begeistert. Ich habe lange nach einem bezahlbaren Neck-Through gesucht der auch noch natürlich aussieht. Zusammen mit Flatwounded Saiten macht es richtig Spaß den zu spielen.

Alle Potis drehen sich sehr weich!
Ein Kabel war nicht angelötet, wurde aber mittels Lötkolben schnell behoben.
Sehr schöne Optik!

Alles in Allem wirklich ein Top E-Bass.
