Hi Guys! So I am definitely in the market for a Harley Benton bass. With these kinds of reviews, how can I resist? There's a couple of things I'd like to ask. Firstly, would there be a noticeable difference in quality between an HB-50 and a PJ-70 (the deluxe one, with the rosewood veneer)? I am...

Much appreciated! Thank you for your help!

Can't show any pics right now, sorry. I think they may be narrow i dont have anything to compare, but i will take it to a luthier again soon. I was just looking for a quick fix if anything. Seems like anything suggested by you guys is best left to a professional. Thanks for all the replies and...

Like i saud the bass is fretless, price is 150$ and the neck i wenge, thats as much as i know.

Alright guy thanks, i mean i really wanted a fretless but i guess that'll wait for a couple of years :)

Oh my bad i forgot to mention it is fretless, i want to buy it because i WANT a fretless, i think it looks good, and the guy sells it for really cheap (150$) I dont think i can't find an MIM jazz for that money as fretless, and defretting it would be a pain. And I want a dirt cheap bass because...
