Is she a keeper? NBD

[GodPlayedBass]

So I was mentioning to my girlfriend how cool I think pink basses are and while I was on the phone blabbering to her about it she was on the thomann website buying me one of the new Harley Benton Jazz basses as a surprise birthday gift. A Harley Benton MV-4JB in shell pink

I'm shocked at the quality of this bass. It feels better than my squier 40th anniversary jazz bass which costs more than twice as much. Also has white binding and flawless fretwork and the pickups sound amazing. Ive played a 2000 dollar G&L jazz bass and this Harley Benton is about one tier lower in quality in my honest opinion. It came set up and all I had to do was adjust the pickup height. The bass is obviously a keeper but I think my girlfriend is as well

That’s so hot!! Keepers.

I know a really big brand of Jazz basses who’s completely incapable of painting their headstocks. That looks fantastic. Rock on. Happy birthday.

 

[stigbeve]

I'd keep it. I really like it.

 

[JRA]

holy , that's a fantastic looking ax! glad it feels so good to play --- congratulations on your new instrument!

The bass is obviously a keeper but I think my girlfriend is as well

You are living well.

I think your girl has earned herself at least a foot rub... every day... for a while.

Recently there was a super-groovy pink Reverend Mercalli in the GC used inventory and that thing didn't even have a matching head stock!!

I, too, choose to keep OP's girlfriend.

 

[Moving Pictures]

Definitely keep the girlfriend…and the bass

Oh there's so many childish jokes I had ready to post.

I like everything about it, really dig shell pink and looks killer with dark fretboard.
Side dots are cool. MOP blocks are nice. The binding is a bonus! Enjoy brother!!

Yep, she's a keeper.

Harley Bentons are usually great basses for the money... and that certainly looks like one! Congrats!!

All F'n day long!

Is that 70’s jazz bass pickup spacing? Looks like it may be. If so, that’s pretty cool and reason enough to keep it IMO.

Happy birthday! Hold on to your girlfriend with both hands and enjoy playing that beauty.

I'd say it weighs about 8 pounds or so. Maybe 9

 

[STRMan]

That is super cool. I haven't been jonesing for another bass in a long time. I suddenly feel like I am. Congrats!

 

[Pdaddy1978]

I am becoming a pink bass super fan!
That looks great.

 

[Sternodox]

Think pink!
