Absolutely killer playing, sir -- it's rare to hear that kind of virtuosity on the fretless here on UA-cam. Exceptional. And any Harley Benton review I've seen has been ecstatic with praise for the instruments. This bass sounds ridiculously good. Shaking my head at their prices.
What a blast and the best is that you got a heavenly sound with a "cheap" bass. Very good ,bro. You got the groove. (Fretless Bass is a must for me. When it hits you, you don't want to play fretted basses anymore.)
Outstanding! I have listened to this solo at least 10-times and I continue to press replay! I started learning bass 4-years ago after playing keyboard 40-yrs. The fretless sound (especially with smooth jazz and jazz fusion) is what tugs at my heart. I may not ever sound this good, but you give me a wonderful goal to strive for--your intonation and nuances are spot-on. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
@@Midemabass how do you like the feel of the neck? I'm building a bass at home and can't find a fretless neck for less than $250, but this costs $175 for the whole thing. I might just buy it to rip off the neck and bolt it onto something else. thanks and great job
Wow. This is gold. And I used to be spoiled by watching Michael Arnopol play from 8-feet away at the legendary Green Mill in Chicago… This very much reminds me of something he might play. … on the upright! And with 30-years of experience. Super smooth, mate. 👍
Honestly, they are incredible at any price point. They are very affordable, but definitely not cheaply made. I play mine all the time. A lot more than my much more expensive basses.
Bravissimo. Io impazzirei con il filo della cuffia contro la mano sinistra, quando scendi verso il fondo del manico. Belle frasi e bel timing e intonazione.
Wow great playing! smooth and relaxing, im looking into a fretless jazz base too, and a p bass to replace my off brand old PJ bass. I played a fretless for a while at a studio when I was a studio musician it was really nice.
Thank you everyone for your appreciation. I made another video with the same backing track but tha acoustic fretless version of Harley Benton. another great cheap bass! take a look. Thank you!

You told me to subscribe, so I did. Wow this is good.
So hard to find bass players that actually play the instrument. Great job and it sounds so good.
Thank you so much
The thing is you could buy a bass ten times more expensive, and you won't sound ten times better...
a breath of fresh air to see and hear someone playing bass like a bass 🎵🎶😃
thank U so much... DO you know how many times people tell me that "I don't play bass but guitar"?? So..again...thank You ;)
@@Midemabass you’re welcome 🎵🎶
That is amazing! Proof you don't have to break the bank to play quality sounding instruments! Well done! Love the sound!

thank you Joel!
Agreed!
I have one of the unlined ones. So easy to play, I like it as much as my £650 Ibanez
I was thinking can a bass that cheap sound good? Then I watched this guy play and was sold.
Great sound for a so cheap bass...but the fingers and the bass player make the difference! thanks for sharing this amazing solo!
🎵🎶🎶🎶
Masterfull and sounding like a million bucks.
@@geludkarswierts3577 thank you
I come back to listen to this again and again! Very tasteful fretless bass playing
Should be on commission from Harley Benton!
Keep on listening to this over and over, and I think it's a masterpiece, so much one can learn.
What a blast and the best is that you got a heavenly sound with a "cheap" bass.
Very good ,bro.
You got the groove.
(Fretless Bass is a must for me.
When it hits you, you don't want to play fretted basses anymore.)
thank U Patrick!
You have to be the world’s best bassist! I was in a trance watching you. Beautiful! 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

@@Midemabass Thanks a million! 😎
Sounds like Marcus Miller’s Fretless. Smooth, even, and plenty of mwah!😌👍🏾
...and it costs 1/10 than Miller's bass ahahaha Thank You!

Waooo you sound super good I have questions you use program or playing direct in this video thank you
Beautiful!!!!! I don’t need a Fodera, I need your hands! Very good job. As my grandpa said: “It’s not the bow, it’s the Indian”.
ahahaa thank you so much Juan!!!
wicked love your playing thanks for sharing
I could listen to that jam all day
Your melodic phrasing in this solo made me watch it several times. Nice stuff!
Thank you so much. Means a lot to me
I have ordered a fl-40 and it's only a few days away. Can't wait. Nice solo ty
Fretless is all about those juicy slides. Great job.
Wow. This is gold.
And I used to be spoiled by watching Michael Arnopol play from 8-feet away at the legendary Green Mill in Chicago…
This very much reminds me of something he might play.
… on the upright!
And with 30-years of experience.
Super smooth, mate. 👍

Wooohaa, amazing tone, fantastic playing...and those cheap HB basses are absolutely incredible for the price, unbelievable!! ❤️👍👍👍
thank U so much
Honestly, they are incredible at any price point. They are very affordable, but definitely not cheaply made. I play mine all the time. A lot more than my much more expensive basses.
You probably just sold me of these basses...you can play, sir.
it's a pity that Harley Benton gives me nothing for this ahahah Thank you Tony
You make this bass sound like a million Bucks!
Thank you Oscar
Wow, you can make that bass talk...
Beautiful work.... bravo!
UA-cam posts this video every day on my youtube homepage, and i listen to it everyday.. Nice jam. You've convinced me to buy this bass also.
Ahahah thank you! Harley benton should give me a tip for this😂
I'm speechless 😮
Bravissimo. Io impazzirei con il filo della cuffia contro la mano sinistra, quando scendi verso il fondo del manico. Belle frasi e bel timing e intonazione.
Beautiful sound...
Wow great playing! smooth and relaxing, im looking into a fretless jazz base too, and a p bass to replace my off brand old PJ bass. I played a fretless for a while at a studio when I was a studio musician it was really nice.
Wow - your skill level and feel are off the charts - as good as any I've seen on YT. Making that HB sound sound beyond its price.
Thank you so much ❤️
very nice playing
Impressive! I want a fretless, it's great to hear a cheap option sound this good
Thank you everyone for your appreciation. I made another video with the same backing track but tha acoustic fretless version of Harley Benton. another great cheap bass! take a look. Thank you!

Il basso suona bene, ma tu lo fai suonare ancora meglio! Complimenti.

Great virtuoso playing, great value HB bass, thanks for posting.

You play very well, congratulations.
