Harley Benton - No Talking - SC-Custom Active vs. Passive - Just Playing -

[@Briansgate]

Both sound good, but, I need the tab to that sick jam!!

[@boobler2626]

Right! Need the tab 😬

[@Gulosa1976]

Wow! 2:07 Super-sexy riffs. HBenton guitars are the new black!

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Thanks!

Came for the guitar and stayed for the great playing

[@GeorgeZafirakis]

Saw this video, bought the guitar! Awesome riffage!

[@stephanematis]

Mike, man of few words, plenty of strong riffs! Excellent!

[@MrSongwriter2]

Active sounds clearer. However the weak spot of all the Harley Benton guitars aside from quality control is the Roswell pickups. It’s the main thing people change ASAP

[@MehdiS-music]

Very true Horrible QC and the Roswell pickups are pretty much a "fancy name" given to cheap pickups. Preferred the Wilkinsons. What i tend to do is look for B-stock HB´s with a good discount, if they send me a lemon i refuse it, if i get a good one with a minor cosmetic flaw the price difference between "A-stock" and a b-stock buys me an SD or Dimarzio bridge PU ;) at the moment they have a batch of b-stock Sc-customs for 162€ which is a good discount (buys the PU!)

I am gonna put some black winter in there It's gonna be a killer motherfather

[@chrislaarman7532]

(3 years after) I actually prefer the Roswell pick-ups over the EMG ones. Harley Benton currently offers the same guitar in three editions of pick-ups: passive, Roswell active and EMG active. Their product pages (at both Harley Benton and Thomann) offer audio clips, including the same licks. In my opinion (so yours may well differ), the active pick-ups provide a "more focused" sound. Maybe EMG more so than Roswell, but I hear more "mud" in the deep of the EMG than of the Roswell - and definitely nothing to justify the price difference to me. [another opinion]

[@detachedloop1004]

I would take the passive just for the looks alone

[@xctwowheels1973]

For me, active pickups have less charm than passive ones! And I have a custom sc that I love to death

Glad you love that guitar!

Quick question, do you live in the us? If so, how long did it take to get to there because mines been in customs for like 3 fucking months.

[@NullFX]

I'll never understand how you guys make such great guitars so affordable but I appreciate it. I got one of your Fusion Ts (the green one) and it's quickly becoming my favorite HH guitar. Might grab one of your single coil style teles and see if I like it better than my Squiers or Fender lol.

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Glad you dig 'em!

How do you think they make them so cheap? Slave labour in Asian counties. Do yourself a favor and buy something made in your own country

Just wondering, can you just replace these Roswells with some EMGs or Blackouts, i.e. just plug them in without modifying any of the wiring or the electronics?

Nope, EMG use fancy solderless connectors, while Roswell solder the wiring like barbarians(

Why do you do not use a Harley Benton amp? In my opinion, that would be a great combination to see if budget hardware also sounds good together. Taking an expensive amp with such a budget guitar is almost like cheating. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against budget guitars and Harley Benton in particular has improved a lot in recent years

[@HarleyBentonOfficial]

Well that's simple. Most people are familiar with a Marshall or a Fender :)

[@extendedrangetechmetal1489]

do you belive a expensive guitar sounds good in a crap amp?, the harley benton guitar deserve a good sounding amp as all other guitars... cause its a good guitar, its not cheating at all, bentons are 1/3 of the price but 2/3 the guitar compared to much more expencive guitars :)
