Catchy sound
The first bass I have ever played for real... the fretboard with time started to "get crazy" but the thing i really loved about this bass was the sound...He is now so old, and has very old pickups and a bad contact problem in the output jack which has to be solved but the sound remains awesome! And ibanez is not thaaat bad at all. I like the times I had with this bass tho!

Awful strings
These strings aren't pricey, reason I bought them in first place cuz didn't have much money but they absolutely suck. My bass got kind of a "metallic" sound with them, it's not soft as my old strings used to give to me, it was the first thing I've noticed in first place plus they are about one month in my bass and they already feel kinda old, they die pretty fast for a set of strings for a BASS guitar... Very disapointed. My old set were about 7 months in my bass and I could've had let it be there for more 2 but I wanted to change them anyway...I guess, we learn from mistakes, right? Only buy this strings if you don't have that much and feel the need of having new ones in your bass!

Combo with a poor sound, but good for practice
This combo has a poor sound, I don't like it at all but it's good to practice at home or with friends. I advice it to have at home to practice only, just in case you don't have another amp (as it happened to me) to play at some event you can use this, but remind that you will barely be heard or better you won't be heard.. :/

Very Good Bass for an Harley Benton
For an Harley Benton is a very good precision bass! I say this because HB produces a lot of basses and guitars and unfortunately they are never ever similiar to one another's, one can have a good and perfect thing and other can have everything misplaced which is kinda "annoying"... :( The fretboard of mine is quite perfect, comfortable, easy playable though I had tried to lower the strings in the bridge a few milimeters (to make it reach the level maximum perfection) but I didn't get the results I wanted plus in the 19th fret on the second and third string it started fret buzzing so I had to pull them a little up again. The sound is very good (and gets better when you switch to a good amp) I was very lucky to get an Harley Benton almost in the Squier level ( I am maybe exageratting but whatever) because I know that versions of this precise bass (as I mentioned a few lines up) might not be good as mine, which is a pity... But I advice this bass for someone who wants a good and accessible bass guitar!
