NJE Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I bought a Harley Benton Fretless a couple of years ago for a project. It was only for a couple of songs so I didn’t want to spend much, and after getting very close to buying the Vintage Jaco Bass, I decided I would give the HB a go as a buddy had a fretted jazz and raves about it. The general build is incredible for the price and in fact it has the best sunburst paint job I have ever seen and the grain on the body is amazing. Neck pocket is better than the the last two USA Fenders I have had and the neck is smooth and decent under hand. The only things I can criticise are the tuners, which hold tuning fine, but are a bit clunky and rough is use, and I suspect that an upgrade in writing/pots would only improve the sound. Generally though it is an incredible bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
