    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.

    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.
