Only tiny thing was the A string lacked punch because of a shallow break angle, but installing a string retainer for like £3 totally fixed that.
I have replaced the ol' disc with this one below on all my basses (9 of which are Harley Bentons 😊). Works great.

I have a Reissued series V4 since february, vintage white with blackwood neck ("lignum rosa", literally 'rosewood' but in fact some kind of thermally treated pine, if I am correct). The neck is medium fat I guess, feels about the same as my HB PB-50. Gloss finish on the back. Pickups are Wilkinson WPB Alnico V. Not quite vintage sounding but somewhere in between vintage and crispy. With the tone rolled off half way vintage enough for me. I managed to set it up with a really low action, so the fretwork is superb. Up till now I only replaced the jack socket with a Switchcraft, just to be sure. Tuners are great, bridge is great, general feel is great. The sound I get out of this bass, with Dunlop 45-105s, is impressive. P-bass to the max. I am very happy with my V4. And saved some 100 euros by not buying a Squier. Got me a HB PB-50 with that 😁. Also killer.
