Unbelievable for the price
I purchased this bass as I need a 5 string for a couple of songs and didn't want to spend a lot of money, Hartley Benton have a good following and reputation so I went ahead and ordered it.... What a shock when I unpacked it, it looks great and plays great straight out of the box. Sturdily made, uncomplicated split coil with 2 volume controls, it only needs a little tweaking on the bridge to get the intonation bang on and the frets need dressing, but that's usual on even much more expensive instruments. We'll done HB and Thomann, it's a cracking bass at a low price

I heard good things but this...
I'd been watching review videos about this brand for awhile, and they were mostly good, but I was completely surprised at how good this bass is. The only thing I can even try to complain about is having to slightly file the fret ends and adjust the truss rod to fix a tiny buzzing. I love it.

Absolutely terrible quality control - Very disappointed in Thomann/HB
I purchased my MB-5LH back in February and have only used it lightly around the house. Fast forward now to September, it came time for a string replacement. Both the E and G string tuning gears stripped while removing the old strings, rendering the whole bass useless. From what I gathered, this seems to be an issue with this model. This is my second Harley Benton bass (my other is a red PB-50), and the quality on this one is so much worse that it's not even funny. Aside from the tuning gears, the matte black finish is flaking off in a number of different spots, the frets are very sharp from about the tenth fret up, and several frets are actually sticking up from the fret board (looks like they weren't pressed in properly/glued down well). All in all, I am extremely disappointed with this bass. If I was a beginner and this was my first bass, this would be a huge turn off for me.

Decent but came with defective E string
Bass is pretty decent only problem is a very buzzy E string which I had to replace, the tuners also rattle sometimes.

Great bass for a Great price!
the price totally pays off, the bass sounds amazing, the quality of it is amazing, the neck of the bass is sturdy and the weight is just perfect for playing standing up, my only issue which is miniscule, is that when i slap bass my nails have chipped a bit of the red part in the middle of the bass, but nothing that ruins it at all, just make sure if you have long nails playing bass avoid poking it!
