    Thanks for doing so many great videos on the Harley Benton basses. I'm definitely getting one, but not sure which one yet. When you post your links to go buy basses, you only include the UK websites. Many of your viewers like me are from the U.S.(North America). Thomann has a US site now. If you include those links, you'll get the affiliate commission for those sales too. Thanks again guys!!!!!
