Well, that is the funny thing about it. It is a Harley Benton bass . For those who don't know, HB is Thomann's inhouse brand. I've been skeptical about them, but then I read many great reviews online about their quality/price ratio, and since I was bored and thought it might be fun to try something as far out as a 7-string, I took the plunge. And I'll tell you this: the quality you get for your money here is unlike most other stuff! Sure, there a few things that makes you able to tell that it is not a 3000€ Warwick bass, but then again, it costs 1/10 of that!

So, all in all, I am surprised and delighted with the quality and playability of this beast. Won't be my main bass for sure, but the thing is one helluva fun bass to play.

Price means nothing to playability and tone. But if you could put a price tag on looks, I'd say that looks like a 3k bass.....it looks beautiful man!!
