Harley Benton MB-5LH SBK

The Harley Benton MB-5LH SBK is a surprisingly high quality and affordable left-handed bass guitar option for musicians who appreciate high sound quality, playability, and stylish looks.

One of the first impressions of this guitar is its appearance. It looks very stylish with its matte black body and contrasting white trim, giving it a modern and aggressive look. This goes perfectly with its sound and character.

In terms of sound, the Harley Benton MB-5LH SBK does not disappoint. It is equipped with two humbucker pickups that deliver a powerful and rich sound with great attack and deep bass. This makes this guitar an ideal choice for genres that require a heavier sound such as rock, metal or punk.

Another advantage of this guitar is its affordable price. Compared to other left-handed bass guitars on the market, the Harley Benton MB-5LH SBK offers high quality and great sound at a very attractive price, making it an ideal choice for musicians on a tight budget.

Overall, the Harley Benton MB-5LH SBK is a great left-handed bass guitar that offers a great combination of style, quality, and affordability. It is ideal for musicians playing a variety of genres and will be a trusted companion on any stage or in the recording studio.

I purchased my MB-5LH back in February and have only used it lightly around the house. Fast forward now to September, it came time for a string replacement. Both the E and G string tuning gears stripped while removing the old strings, rendering the whole bass useless. From what I gathered, this seems to be an issue with this model. This is my second Harley Benton bass (my other is a red PB-50), and the quality on this one is so much worse that it's not even funny. Aside from the tuning gears, the matte black finish is flaking off in a number of different spots, the frets are very sharp from about the tenth fret up, and several frets are actually sticking up from the fret board (looks like they weren't pressed in properly/glued down well). All in all, I am extremely disappointed with this bass. If I was a beginner and this was my first bass, this would be a huge turn off for me.
