mr zed Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) ***Sold*** Up for sale is my Harley Benton B550 5 String 'Deco' bass. 2 Humbuckers, active/passive with a 2 band eq (and passive tone control). When it arrived, the 'issue' was a very low action with the strings rattling on the frets. A trussrod tweak sorted that out and I was left with a bass that punches way above its weight (which is 3.8kg or 8 1/2 lbs in real money). It is way better than a bass costing this little has any right to be. I am including a Thomann padded gigbag (which cost almost as much as the bass lol). I have been a bit creative and designed and made a scratchplate for it which I think really helps with the looks. The battery for the active preamp is included saving you around £1.50. I will post if required however at a cost of £25.00 you probably wouldn't want to bother! I'm in Bolton Lancashire if you wish to collect. Only trade I would consider would be a 4 string Wal with cash my way Edited April 14, 2018 by mr zed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 You're actually paying £50 for the very nicely made custom scratch plate, the bass it's attached to is just there to hold it steady in transit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
