New speaker cab still adds plenty to your channel. Different content is always appreciated so not just having new guitars is great. Also lots of us are curious about the HB amps so doing a review would be great!
@@xanderraymondcharlesDid you know that you can mix and match different Celestion speakers in HB 212 cabs? V30 on the bottom and Creamback on top of a vertical 212 is golden.
The Harley Benton 2x12 cabs are phenomenal. Got one of the vertical ones to run the 5150iiiS 50 and it sounds killer. Easiest access to V30s on the planet.
Homie is high key the MOST UNDERRATED UA-camR. He gets clout but not enough. Ray is the coolest and nicest fucking dude, never met him but he has that genuine look. Like you could pump into him and he’d apologize but in a respectable way
Harley Benton Fusion-III/II and/or Fusion-T are top of the line Harley Benton guitars that can be found for an bargain on the used market. Here in Europe they are sold for sometimes half the price they are sold as new, and the biggest point for getting them are the Stainless Steel frets....
I recently tried to replace Kluson tuners with hipshot, you're right they don't fit because the hipshots are bigger. However Kluson do make locking tuners that are drop in replacements. I used them and they are actually really nice!
interested to see that Jazzmaster baritone. But yeah the Amaroks are just absolutely outstanding. I have the baritone in the green color, and it's just such an amazing guitar.
I have the HB vertical 2x12 cab. It sounds great!!! Also, kind of bummed you went with the entry level baritone. Especially because Agufish has a new signature baritone coming out (from HB)...and it's a single cut 😅
Those harley benton guitars and cabs are great value for the money. Its a one hour drive from my house to the thomann store and i played some of them and they can rival some mexican fenders/jackson... The way your channel is developing is absolutley great. Cheers
Purchased a fusion 3 with the roasted maple neck. Honestly never been so disapointed with a guitar. I really wanted to love it. Reviews made it sound amazing. I intended on purchasing the fusion T with EMG pickups aswell but after they shipped me a defective guitar I won't be buying from them again. Ended up sending it back. To make it worse they then said they were claiming for shipping damage from the courier. When to me was plain as day that it was a manufacturing defect.
I've took my sons HB to a luther for a pickup swap (emg "het set") and fret level and he looked at me like i was crazy. That thing plays like a dream. It also has tuner upgrade. Nut upgrade, new pots and a Floyd rose FRX bridge. And a custom camo paint job.
Those 2x12 Harley Benton cabs are actually pretty good. I have 2 of them and run stereo. I also have a 6 string Amarok and that thing is a workhorse. Eventually going to put some bare knuckles in it but it's fine with the stockers.
Man I got the SC with the Floyd on it and one of the Amarok Baritones. Both of them are absolute shredders, the active pickups that come on the Amarok are incredible, like it kinda pours on its own Distortion. The Roswells on the SC don't sound too bad if I dump a bunch of distortion on them, thought about upgrading them but then Glenn might shout at me. But to your point yesterday, it would be sick to try and find someone with like... an older Harley Benton, just to see how well they hold up.
Tuners affect your tone dawg! That's a part of why your Jazzmaster sounds so good. Their light weight doesn't kill your resonance. The heavy modern ones do, I've experienced it first hand. And I LOVE metal guitars. That's just one thing.
I have been looking at the Harley Benton guitars for a while. I wish they had more of a range in quality. Like charge a couple hundred more and let us get a maple cap. Not a huge deal though.
I really gotta shout out the SC 25th. It’s my go to for everything that isn’t metal. I used it for a jazz gig last night and it sounded great. And killer specs for the price.
My mate recently got the fusion 3 and i gotta say, compared to most of the guitars i've played in that price range, its hard to top, the RM necks feel sick, pickups sound solid and all that with locking tuners and a wilkinson trem? its a recipe for greatness
HB has a pretty great 2x12 powered cab demo I saw the other day - also super cheap. If you're not going to mic it or anything else, you may as well hear what front of house hears, right? lol
Hey man. I’m paused at 1:36 you might wanna checkout the sparkly blue single cut gotoh guitar they have. I sold mine to for medical bills but will definitely buy another one Cheers from NZ 😎🤘🎸
I got the Single Cut model with a Floyd. It's not as feature-packed as the Fusions, but it's a Single Cut with a Floyd! A real one, too! My main gigging guitar, right now!
So Harley Benton actually has a reverb store and stuff gets your house faster. You'll pay the same shipping fees and such but they're here in the states now.
Just picked up a Gretsch g5260 and its my first baritone. And i gotta be honest...after playing regular scale ALL my life...i think im switching to baritone. Definitely fits my play style more and allows me to be more creative. You were the deciding factor on me picking that Gretsch and i want to thank you. Your content is incredible and you seem like a super good shit. Keep doin what you're doin. One love!!
I found a Harley Benton cabinet on a second-hand website with 2 V30 speakers in it for 55 euros a couple of years ago. I guess the seller had no clue about what they were selling.
the weirdness of the body shape of the single cut that they copied from Aria single cuts.. yeah.. my ocd screams at me 'that's not a Les Paul!!' ... but honestly.. the deepened cut makes it so much more comfy for the high notes soloing... :)
Ayyy I’ve got the JA baritone, it’s pretty awesome. Fretwork was better than my Solar, stock setup left a little to be desired though. Tuners get a lot of complaints from people but I don’t mind them at all
Setup of the HB guitars is a hit and a miss. Had a friend that ordered an Amarok and it came with a misplaced bridge that made correct intonation impossible and with a 3 mm action at the first fret. The guys at Thomann tried to convice him that both is normal. He returned it of course. I wonder who ended up with that guitar in the end. Initial prices are great, but expect to put in another 100-200 bucks at a luthier to get the setup right.
I hesitate to order a HB cabinet. They are a great deal but I don’t really want to have something that big and heavy shipped internationally. I ended up getting an EVH 2x12 from Sweetwater instead and putting in a WGS Invader 50 speaker to fill out the sound a bit.
Hahaha you're as bad as I am in getting re-directed Ray lol. Got a new Sire S7, no string trees AND stays in tune until extreme temp changes which ALL my guitars do!
I've got that HB Baritone and the tuners that came on it were plastic and straight trash. I then ordered some locking hipshot tuners for it but they were bigger than the holes on the headstock. Luckily Phillip McKnight has a great tutorial on his channel for making the headstock holes big enough to fit hipshots with only a couple simple tools and not that much work.
You mistyped and missed a few. Amarok Baritone. Look at them. Neck through. Not jazzmasters. See: Harley Benton Amarok-BT BKBL Flame Burst Or Harley Benton Amarok-BT EGNT Quilted Burst
I like how they can make some amazing guitars that dont cost a lot why get a really expensive charvel when i can get the satin black superstrat with emgs and a roasted maple neck and stainless steel frets either that or the tele version
They wont let me buy any squier or fender on their site..to the Usa.. b.s. and shady..and ive already bought 3 of their guitars...not sure if ill buy anymore.
I'll be honest with you, I'm tired of hearing about baritone guitars with p90s....I'm not trying to hate, but not everyone wants to own one of those...shoulda went with the Amarok or the higher end ones to make it more diverse...just some honest criticism my friend...don't take it wrong...its gonna look and play just like that Squier...we wanna see something different
Where are you going to get a $250 silverburst single cut with stainless steel frets? "Pretty expensive for what it is" is not an accurate statement by any means haha.
ua-cam.com/video/x9LPUYZLW5A/v-deo.html Here's andrew baenas video on the harley benton jazzmaster. The only "issue" is the plastic tuners. But i am anxiously waiting your interpretation.
@@didtoknan8128 lmfao okay buddy, maybe companies should sell properly grounded guitars we get it, you're really poor and defend HB at every turn despite, unlike me, not even being a gigging musician using those guitars on stages. The JA-30 sucks. Go buy the R458 if you wanna tune low.

Yes they’re def on my radar. I’ll scoop one up soon! I appreciate the comment!
@@xanderraymondcharles try to get one of the G212Plus ! Better than the regular ones, and amaaaazing value for the price !!
@@xanderraymondcharles I’ve got the vertical 2x12 with the vintage 30s and it sounds killer man
Old line 6 cabs with v30’s are always cheap
2:52 the baritone horn: the deathcore of classical.
Bless you for dropping such wisdom 🙌🙌🙌🙌 haha seriously thanks boss
The new cabs are great, I have the Amarok baritone, it’s damn good!
Thanks for the video. PSA Harley Benton has a Reverb store and is testing distribution in America through it.

The color combination is smooth for sure. I like how the bridge and knobs look, clean.
interested to see that Jazzmaster baritone.
But yeah the Amaroks are just absolutely outstanding. I have the baritone in the green color, and it's just such an amazing guitar.
Just a heads up... You should watch andrew beanas video on that baritone jazzmaster. The tuners are plastic. Stil a good mod platform. Love u ray 🤘
I really want to get the Guitar Max signature fusion.
Guitar Max speaks in Drop D.
I think Hunter (Agufish) assisted in the design/spec of the Amarok. They look like solid guitars
I have the HB vertical 2x12 cab. It sounds great!!!
Also, kind of bummed you went with the entry level baritone. Especially because Agufish has a new signature baritone coming out (from HB)...and it's a single cut 😅
I been waiting a long time for that. Missed the first one.

Hey hey! Yeah and to follow up my point yesterday I’m gonna try and hang onto several Harley Benton’s to see how they hold up and last!
i dont have a baritone but looking to get one and this one has been on my radar
exited to see what you think about it!
I agree with others, maybe an HB Amp review would be great someday. I have HB guitars and love them!
Harley Benton now has a Reverb shop

Not sure bout the amp but the cabs are on point! BTW love your flow man, on point bruv!
Thank you bro I’m thinking about buying a Harley Benton or a solar I love that shirt killer ❤
Hey thanks for hanging!

That wind instrument labeled "baritone" is called... a baritone.
Theres the sc-550 plus which comes with emg pickups and locking tuners.
If they made a Fusion T "tele" style baritone, that could get my interest a bit, roasted sexy neck, matte black, no gold sh!t, all bizniss
I love my v30 loaded 2x12 from Harley Benton. Sounds pretty damn good to me! 🤘🏻
Get your cabinet from Mojo Tone. Love my 2x12 with Creambacks.
The problem with HB cabs is the weight and the cost to have that much weight shipped from Germany.
I found a Harley Benton cabinet on a second-hand website with 2 V30 speakers in it for 55 euros a couple of years ago. I guess the seller had no clue about what they were selling.
the weirdness of the body shape of the single cut that they copied from Aria single cuts.. yeah.. my ocd screams at me 'that's not a Les Paul!!' ... but honestly.. the deepened cut makes it so much more comfy for the high notes soloing... :)
So that "Sleep Token/Loathe on a budget" is comeing its way? =))) love your vids
The amps would be fun. But ya gotta work around the European voltage. So I would only get a cab, not a combo or head.
Ayyy I’ve got the JA baritone, it’s pretty awesome. Fretwork was better than my Solar, stock setup left a little to be desired though. Tuners get a lot of complaints from people but I don’t mind them at all

Initial prices are great, but expect to put in another 100-200 bucks at a luthier to get the setup right.
I bought that sliver burst I loved it I replaced the tuners with graphics ratios and it was a sick
I’m thinking about getting that 2x12 and would be awesome if you put it on your channel!
How dare you!? My Amarok is green, and it's my primary guitar now!
I hesitate to order a HB cabinet. They are a great deal but I don’t really want to have something that big and heavy shipped internationally. I ended up getting an EVH 2x12 from Sweetwater instead and putting in a WGS Invader 50 speaker to fill out the sound a bit.
I absolutely love J-Style Baritone! Sounds like an absolute monster!
Actually would like to see you get that tube amp head dude. Would make for good content 💪
Noted!
I have the red Amarok, and yeah, it djents. The SC 550 II also rocks hard. Thomann ftw
2:55 it’s called a baritone 😂😂
i can't say for others but for myself I would find the cab more interesting
Nice T-shirt 😎
Hahaha you're as bad as I am in getting re-directed Ray lol. Got a new Sire S7, no string trees AND stays in tune until extreme temp changes which ALL my guitars do!

Okay I’m thinking of starting to play guitar
I love Mick so starter gear
Could you make a video about music theory for drop.c please I can't find any videos specifically about this
Great video I have a fusion III ultra flame double single double pickups , what would put instead of the Roswell Ray?
Hey thanks for watching! Honestly you can’t go wrong with dimarzio or Seymour Duncan!
What didn't you like about the Amarok baritones? Or was it a case of the pull of the JA just being too strong?
Seems to be that things you get from this brand are good initially but over time the quality does degrade quite a bit
The 4x12 was like $100 less a year ago too
Yeaaaa i realy want to hear the difference between those jazz master (maybe we can get a di comparison ;w;)
I got you!
This is the problem, you want one off all!
Crank it to 11 🤘🏼
Yo ray i would suggest u get a fusion III ht emg which is imo their best guitar, they come in st and t shapes, they have a charvel vibe to them
the fusion III ht roasted spp is cool as well, has a glitter finish
I appreciate the suggestion!
that guitar is so awesome looking
I'd be interested in seeing what that amp sounds like
Me too!

Fusion 3 emg is probs the best on there
you have lot of static sound in your videos..look into eq'ing it
That’s just the roar of the crowd!

Do you actually BUY anything?

The title is misleading.
