Harley Benton Enhanced MP-5MN Natural **WITHDRAWN** £225 Chelmsford, Essex

[Bearfist]

Got this new a few months back for a one off gig i was doing where i needed a 5 and being a sandberg player for the most part and not wanting to part with loads of money i thought this was a good option as its very much based on a Sandberg VM, i didnt expect much to be honest but had heard good things.

But I have to say this thing is absolutely fantastic for the money, the neck is lovely, its comfortable to play and there's a couple of really nice features in the Zero Fret and Sting through body, pickups are pretty nice too. I would say the only thing that has not blown me away is the pre amp but when you consider this is a £320 bass its still not that bad.

Anyway i dont need a 5 anymore now that gigs over so i may as well see if anyone fancies trying one of these. I still have the shipping box so will ship.

No issues that i can see with it, looks in the same shape it was from the shop with the exception of a missing volume knob, i managed to loose that some how and have not been able to find it around the house/studio but its a generic chrome knob so cheap to replace, the pot is fine, it wasnt knocked off the screw was loose and i kept forgetting to tighten it.

Update - knob found and reunited.

Price includes shipping or will take £25 off if collected.

Looks very nice for the price! Lovely grain on the body.

That pic is like an optical illusion, at first glance I thought there was a bass-shaped cutout in your floor.

I see what you mean about the optical illusion!

And yeah was pleasantly surprised by the finish and in particular the grain when i got it.

I think its quite likely i will go back for a 4 string version at some point soon.

Gonna keep it and stick some Delano's and a Ki0gon passive kit in it, its too nice to let go any cheaper than this.
