“The PB-62 continues our tradition of delivering outstanding price-to-performance value, and a fresh take on a classic theme”: Vintage mojo from a $180 beginner bass guitar? Meet the Harley Benton PB-62

Harley Benton Vintage Series PB-62: the entry-level bass guitars draw inspiration from vintage Fender and feature a single split-coil pickup.

Harley Benton has expanded its Vintage Series range of bass guitars with PB-62, a single-pickup four-string that leaves little doubt as to the inspiration behind its design.

The clue is in the name, PB-62, which let’s just say is a nod to, say, the Fender Precision Bass (from 1962!?) – it makes no claims to be a vintage replica, but nonetheless the inspiration of Fender’s O.G. classic writ large in its design, and that makes it a compelling option for the beginner bassist.
