Description: Harley Benton HB-50 Semi-Hollow 4-String Bass | 1x Artec MMC4 AlNiCo 5 MusicMan-style Humbucker wired to a 3-way Mini-Toggle Switch for Series/Single-Coil/Parallel TonesI was lucky to get my hands on this bass as these have been difficult to snag since they were released. This is a great, straight-ahead semi-hollow bass with a modern pickup option as opposed to most other semi-hollow basses that have more vintage or proprietary pickup configurations.Sadly, I need funds for basic survival stuff at this point: Food, housing, utilities, etc. So I'm offering it up for someone else to enjoy.This bass came factory with the pickup wired as single-coils in parallel to a 3-way LP-style pickup selector switch. That didn't make much sense to me, so I rewired it to a 3-way ON/ON/ON mini-toggle switch for coils-in-Series/Single-coil/coils-in-Parallel like passive MusicMan Stingray basses are typically wired.The black tape stripes are totally removeable. I was just screwing around with trying to spice it up visually and the idea of competition racing stripes like some of the Fender basses or the Tom Delonge Signature ES-335 popped into my head, so this was a mock-up attempt. I can leave them intact or remove them prior to shipment, just let me know your preference.Here's the info & specs from HarleyBenton.com:HB-50 Vintage OrangeA semi-acoustic body meets an archtop! If you value stylish design, you’ll love this 60s-inspired beauty in its vibrant Vintage Orange finish. The body and set-in neck of the HB-50 are made of Canadian maple while the Laurel fretboard is loaded with 22 nickel silver frets. The gorgeous cream binding on the body and neck exude plenty of vintage flair. The vintage humbucker delivers a warm, round tone, and the scale length of 864 mm adds to the recipe in creating a sound that’s instantly addictive!SpecificationsVintage SeriesType: Semi-HollowBody: MapleArched topSet-in neck: Canadian mapleFingerboard: LaurelDot fingerboard inlaysSide markingsABS nutNut width: 43 mmNekc profile: CScale length: 864 mm (34")White binding on body and neck22 Nickel silver frets 2.7 mmDouble Action TrussrodPickup: 1 Artec MMC4 Vintage AlNiCo 5 Humbucker1 Volume and 1 Tone control3-Way Mini-Toggle Switch for Series/Single-Coil/ParallelBK5 bridgeDLX DieCast machine headsDLX Chrome HardwareStrings: Harley Benton .045 - 0,100Colour: Vintage Orange high glossI ship FAST!! See my feedback for details. Check back often and follow my shop.Regarding Shipping: This instrument does not come with a case. All instruments and items will be well-packed and fully insured.Optionally, I have hard-shell cases and gig-bags available at reasonable prices if you would like to have your instrument shipped in one for an even higher degree of protection during shipment. These cases are new and have never left my studio. Message me prior to payment if interested. Thanks!Applicable to Instruments: The action on my instruments is setup medium-low & adjusted to my own preferences but generally meets or exceeds factory specs. It should be acceptable to most players, but your mileage may vary.As a result of many potential factors including the handling involved in transport, the speed and degree of changes in humidity & temperature, etc. it is possible that once your instrument is unpacked, it may need some minor adjustment to play its best, despite the attention paid to setup prior to it being packed up for shipment.If your instrument does end up needing adjustment, I recommend supporting your local guitar shop. Get acquainted with the guitar tech/luthier/wizard, buy a set of strings & have them installed or even consider getting a complete setup. Alternatively, it's well worth investing a little time, acquiring a few tools and learning to do pro-level setups yourself. It's easier than ever with tons of instructional videos on YouTube.
