Steve my first bass was the £50 Kay out the catalogue 30 odd year back.

I'd been looking for a cheap short scale and was looking at the Thomann site for the Mikro ( great wee bass BTW), anyway looking at the other basses available the Benton PB-50 SB Vintage took my fancy. Listened to the sound-clips and thought Yep like that. Ordered Tuesday night, text and email on Wednesday to say order confirmed and shipped.Arrived on Friday, box within a box packed in airbags, so fast delivery and safe packaging plus point. Out the box came a gorgeous looking Bass [url="http://s1205.photobucket.com/user/kodiakblair/media/Benton.jpg.html"][/url] Good neck,Well built and well balanced,shipped with Wilkinson Alnico single coil and D'ddario strings. Quick easy set-up and away we go,good range of sounds. All in all a good sound bass. At a cost of £87 First time dealing with Thomann and first Benton and I'm well happy.No hassles,fast delivery and a good bass.I'd consider another Benton and deal with Thomann again Just my tuppence worth.
