I ordered this 7 string bass from Thomann in Germany. I am a big Thomann fan, I ordered heaps from them when I lived in Europe, reliable, value for money and well presented.
I am hearing rave reviews especially for their bass guitars, so I said let's give it a shot.
I always wanted to try a 7 string for fun, ideas and creativity. This model has incredible specs for money, but that's not the best part. Most 7 strings have very narrow string spacing, This Harley Benton is said to have super wide string spacing at the bridge, which means it should play like a regular bass, and is even more spacious more than most 6 strings.
Now is the big moment to unbox it, I will not go into too much detail explaining the individual parts, I want to plug it in straight away and take it for a test drive. Let's see if all is working as it should, how it is setup and I cope with all these extra strings.
