Harley Benton fretless violin bass

Its a HB so you know its cheap but basically good. Have done a few mods just to see what would happen but ultimately fretless isnt for me. Perfect low cost entry in to the world of fretless – no fret markers but there are dots on the side of the fingerboard for guidance.

I’ve added a Mojo solderless Jazz Bass VVT wiring harness (€120) and upgraded the pickups to genuine Hofner pickups (€100) and added some really good strings (€60). Bass and bag cost €199 new.


• Flamed maple top
• Arched basswood body
• Maple neck
• Set-in neck attachment
• Amaranth fretboard
• Cream-coloured binding on the body
• Neck profile: C
• Side dot fretboard inlays
• Scale: 775 mm
• Nut width: 42 mm
• Double action truss rod
• Chrome hardware
• TI Jazz flats
• Padded gigbag

Appreciate that mods are dead money but its in great condition and has new strings so hence what I think is a realistic asking price.
