Incoming Bass

So due to a change in circumstances the bassist on my course had to drop out. So as there are two guitarists we've decided to split up bass duties. This meant I needed a bass. Hence...

I thought I'd give one of the new Harley Benton models a punt. For Â£100 I can't go that wrong...

I'm quite excited for it to arrive and depending on how I get on I may even pick up bass as my second study instrument (would mean I'd get lessons from an amazing teacher too!).

Looks very nice. Especially for a ton.

I'll post pictures when it arrives. Looking forward to seeing what it's like.

The bass just arrived, and first impressions are really good. The setup could use a tweak but apart from that it looks great! Had a very quick play through a guitar amp and it sounds awesome.

Will spend more time with it later and take some pictures.
