Details

—price drop, $150–
I have a really nice Harley Benton PJ deluxe. This is a whole bass, everything included, I just have it apart currently because I was going to sell it separately. However, to my surprise the neck pocket on the body is slightly different than Fender or Squier. The neck has been defretted and plays nicely, it’s smooth but not the prettiest. Everything works great is in very good condition cosmetically and functionally. On the body, I have moved the strap pin up a couple inches, but the original hole is there and could easily be reversed. I’ll leave apart for shipping, unless requested otherwise. I will include a set of round wound strings with it. Will ship to CONUS and prefer PayPal. I am open to trades, interested in just about anything. Surprise me and make an offer. Thanks for looking.

Because I wanted to try and play fretless and didn’t want to buy yet another bass to do it, lol. It was mostly a fun project and honestly does play pretty well. Could maybe take some file work to the nut to lower it properly, but it sits pretty well as it is.
Why was the neck defretted?

How does the neck pocket differ from the Fender standard? Do you know the dimensions?

I have several spare necks and I may be able to use one with your body.

3 3/4” on pocket lengthwise

Tried to be accurate, can’t find my good ruler, this was with measuring tape.
