So the posty dropped this off today :D

And what a punchy little beasty it is! The fit and finish are superb, I'd honestly be happy paying 5x of what this cost for this sort of quality. The body is blemish free as is the neck and matching headstock. The neck is thick, almost like a baseball bat but it isn't uncomfortable or a hindrance, it sports well dressed frets that are buzz free and I dig in quite hard. The passive pickup is quite hot, there is a slight singlecoil hum when you roll down one volume (wired VVT) but that is to be expected. Even the strings are nice, no idea what they are but they'll be staying on until they're dead.

I feel like I've robbed Thomann for £112 delivered. 3 day delivery from Germany is very good too!

HB jazz next I think..

Does it sound like a Ray..or does it have its own thing going on?

If i'm honest I have never played or heard a Stingray in the flesh, but it does have a very nice gritty growl going on.

Thomann have some sound clips which give you an idea- [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mb_4_sb_deluxe_series.htm"]https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mb_4_sb_deluxe_series.htm[/url]
