Harley Benton aren't just bringing the bargains to the Cyber Monday music deals, it's still releasing new gear in 2022. And these new short-scale MV-4MSB Gotoh basses represent not just a tempting buy for four-stringers, but electric guitar players who want to add a more compact bass to their collection.
As the name suggests, they feature quality Gotoh hardware – something that has impressed us in the past with Harley Benton guitars. In this case it's GB-7 tuners.
The 30-inch / 762 mm scale model features a caramelised Canadian maple neck, pau ferro fingerboard and an alder body, with bronze saddles to help sustain.
Pickups are Roswell Alnico 5 single-coils with Daphne Blue, Black, Seafoam Green, Shell Pink, Sunburst, and Burgundy Mist finishes and a matching headstock, each with a matching headstock. Classy!
