Now for another user review, but this time, it is a review of the Harley Benton HBB200BK bass guitar. Just like the previous review of the Yamaki though, this review is a highly positive one – with the reviewer awarding the HBB200BK an overall rating of 8.4 out of 10.
His conclusion: “I think this is one of those ‘do-it-all’ basses. It seems to have the sound to play anyhting that has a good line to it. For metal it was good, not quite as growly as I wanted, but it still held it’s own. I wouldn’t really buy one again if I had a choice, but if I was out of pocket and needed an emergency replacement, I’d consider getting another one. I love the fact it has a laquered neck that’s the same colour as the body. you rarely see that on sub £200 guitars, but one on a sub £100? There really is nothing I hate about it. It works, it performs well, it can even withstand the abuse I give it at shows. This is an awesome beginner bass, and I’d even recomend it to someone looking for their second or third bass, to use as a practice guitar or even a small show guitar. I hope my one’s as good as the others are. If they are, I think Harely Benton may become a name you’ll see crop up more often.”
