@Basscabman Wondering how the neck's getting on 6-9 months later? How does it play,  how's the intonation etc.? Any other comments or observations? 

I've just stumbled across the same seller on eBay and the quality looks decent in the pics. They appear better than a lot of the other options. 

Cheers in advance, Paul. 

It's great mate, really low action, Only had to adjust the truss rod once since I got It.

Absolutely this. 

I've got one in a passive MM type bass and KiOgon made me a four position rotary switch, to match the volume and tone knob, which switches through single bridge coil, single neck coil, then both coils in series, then both in parallel. 

The standard pickup comes wired in series but a true MM is wired in parallel but it's simple to change, if you wanted to. 

How do you change the pickup from Series to parallel?

Cheers John.

If I hate the neck I'll slap a jazz neck on It and move the bridge back! 

Will any Fender neck fit that pocket John?

Cheers for that Stew, Think I'll go for the two pickup one when they're back In stock. 👍

Cheers mate, much appreciated, I'm torn between the two. Merry Xmas to you and yours.

Stew does the MM copy with the 2 humbuckers have the same tone at the bridge is the all black single pickup version?

Stew Is the neck on the 2 pickup MM one a lot fatter than the Stealth black MM one?

Been looking for one of these for a while now, Unfortunately this one Is out of my budget for a used one.

Nice bass though.

GLWTS.

Is the Harley Benton MB4 In sunburst the same spec as the matt black one? (Apart from the maple neck)

Cool Stew, What model Is it?

I really fancy one of these, Anyone tried one?

I was going to go for one of these but I read a review on Thomann and It said they had really thick baseball bat necks.

An owner on here said that's not true?

Ta mate, Is It thick like a baseball bat?

Well it's here, first impressions, I seriously like the stealth paint and for once the tort guard is growing on me, neck is not as chunky as other HB's I've owned in fact it's quite similar to my 4 string Alpher maybe only fractionally deeper its straight, no sharp ends and the frets seem to be quite level. Pickup isn't bad for the money, remember it's £118! The tuners tune and the bridge is functional but not brilliant but like I said it's £118, would I recommend one for a beginner? Definitely, would I recommend one in general? Without a doubt, it's a bargain!

How wide is the neck at the nut?

 They've just got these In! 

*Bump.

 £260 

There's a video on youtube about these basses humming, The earth wire under the bridge isn't earthed because of the black paint on the bridge.

The bloke took off the bridge and ran the earth wire into one of the bridge screw holes and cured it.

Gutted to have to sell this but no work since March because of Covid means It has to go.

A 2004 Musicman USA SUB In Black and in superb condition.

2 band active EQ, 

Everything works perfectly.

Plays and sounds as a Stingray should, real growl. Great low action.

Weight Is just over 8lb on my bathroom scales.

Balances great.

Comes with an extra tort scratchplate and Gigbag.

Collection In South East London.

It's the only one I've ever seen Dave. Never knew black ones existed.

I had no Idea they made black Classic Vibe jazzes! Crafted In China 2013.

I've never seen another black one. Had a couple of white ones and regretted selling them so had to have this.

Still got the plastic film and sticker on the scratchplate.

Plays superb.

Got a quality p bass loom from John this morning.

Great piece of kit and a doddle to fit. Screwdriver was a nice touch.

No more crappy eBay looms for me!

Many thanks John

Bought a bass from Daryl Today, Top bloke, he came In to London to meet me as well!

Great chap to deal with.

Cheers mate.

Geoff.
