This Harley Benton is a fantastic entry point into fretless bass playing, especially for lefties. The ash body gives it a warm, articulate tone perfect for Motown, funk, or even more mellow jazz lines. It’s an incredibly affordable way to get a genuine fretless feel and those classic JB pickup tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 350mm radius is relatively flat, which can take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to a rounder fretboard – expect a more pronounced ‘slide’.
They’re surprisingly good! Roswell pickups are often considered a step above many stock pickups; these offer a balanced, vintage-inspired tone with a nice bite.
Laurel is a softer wood, so careful maintenance (regular oiling) is important to prevent dryness and potential fret sprout over time. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be mindful of.
