Harley Benton PB-20 SBK Standard Series

I really do not understand the frenzy about this bass. Sure it is a cheap entry level but so much money you are not saving up for another quality instrument.
This bass is massive. The headstock is heavy and drives the bass down, making it difficult to sustain a correct amount of practice. The neck is really large and not sure if it’s the best option for a beginner.
It also came a bit scratched here and there.
Electronics / pickups do their job but are pretty fragile (do not try to take it apart / custom it too much).
Some parts were also not very aligned but I had no issues in terms of sound.
In conclusion I think you would rather put your money in something more qualitative.
