This left-handed Harley Benton is a surprisingly capable bass for the price. The 30” scale gives it a deep, fundamental tone, and the pickups have a surprisingly modern edge. It’s a great option for left-handed players exploring longer scale basses or needing a versatile workhorse bass on a budget.
