Me too: well done! Impressive playing on a fretless bass guitar. Me too: I came here searching for videos on the Harley Benton B-35 as I'm considering to buy it (the fretted edition). Maybe I'll mount Thomastik flat-wounds.
The acoustic bass guitar, even inexpensive, is a great if one knows how to use it - which you obviously do. It's a niche instrument, but an interesting one.
Wow! Just NOW seeing this! That Harley Benton sounds great! Your Fretless playing is great as well. I feel the G.A.S hitting me! I’m getting the HB Jazz Fretless and that acoustic Fretless. Nice playing!
to play like that on a fretless bass...thats next level :D. but its also very nicely improvised. would be a hell of a session night in a jazzclub tbh^^. for example le dreher with carl ratzer (or emily remler^^) on guitar and chet baker on trumpets joe brancato on drums ;D. anyways, i wanted a fretless since long time after playing a bass with frets. the ibanez srh 505f is very expensive for me, but iwasnt sure about the hb acoustics. you amde me tryin it that way for a start.txh
Beautiful piece ! Can't stop to listen to you. Very nice sound. What's your opinion about the low b ? I'd like to buy one, but I have some fear about the b string. What kind of string did you use ? Is it the stock strings ? Please continue to share your work, it's brilliant.
hi Sebastien! the low b is good ... the action on this kind of instruments is the challenge. if you reach the 3.5 mm on the low side , you can't ask for better. cheers
@@Midemabass va bene grazie Ho preso lo stesso modello ma con i tasti sempre 5 corde Per carità per il prezzo che è va benissimo Anzi più di quello che mi aspettavo
@@lpolli87 i problemi maggiori riscontrati su questi strumenti sono 1}volume delle corde non omogeneo causa il piezo non proprio perfetto 2)action stratosferiche. Fortunatamente entrambi sono risolvibili con una 50ina di euro dal liutaio (se nn sai farlo da solo) Buona musica Lucio
Impeccable performance👍 If you dont mind me asking, but what scale of strings are you using? I'm taking delivery of the 4 string version of yours, but I want to pre-order flatwound strings before it arrives and I'm unsure what scale length to get (medium or long scale). Thomann's website says it's a long scale, but others have said it's a medium. ? Very confusing.
@@Midemabass Cheers. I have the correct gauge, but I was wondering what scale length you were using. Medium or long scale length strings. Thanks again😁
This is an absolutely wonderful bass solo. Absolutely fair play to you. I have really enjoyed this. 2 questions: 1) How did you find this Harley benton out of the box? 2) Are you using any effects on this solo? Bravo
Thank you! No effects here ,just a little reverb from the daw. This Bass out of the box had a little issues with the piezo (different volume Through strings) and the bridge needed a little filing in order to reduce the action
grazie andrea. sinceramente no perchè ha lastiera cieca e un action più alta di un elettrico (con una tastiera decente, ovviamente). se ti vuoi avvicinare al fretless ma non spendere molto ti consiglio il modello jazz bass sempre Harley Benton ..lo trovi tra i miei video
take a look to this other video with Harley Benton Fretless Acoustic ua-cam.com/video/lPkO5kMK8uI/v-deo.html
When we know how to play ... 1000$ instruments are not requiered to create good music! You just prooved it, once again! 😎👍
On some real Jaco Pastorius shit here.
Love your playing man. I'll bet you've sold a lot of these instruments whether you meant to or not!
0:43 that d'angelo lick tho
Epic bass skills, great tone, best bass solo on frettless I’ve heard!

Wow....amazing ....! May I know this model!

@@Midemabass very beautiful
Strings ?
Wooowwwww that confirme my choice with that demo 😀 can you please give the string model use it on that vidéo … thank you
thank U Kami. Are flatwound made by Ernie Ball

does this have a low B string? i saw a 045 - .130 string gauge on thomann
yes. a low B
I read from the comments that you had a piezo issue with the bass, were you able to fix it yourself ? How did you do it ?
Hi. I took the bass to a luthier. Unfortunately the issue is in the "piezo element"
@@Midemabass oh okay... So you had to order a new piezo ?
@@archery171093 no, He had fixed the original one
@@Midemabass is it something fixable at home or it has to be done by a professional?
Consigli sul settaggio di questo basso vista l action abbastanza alta?
C'è poco da settare. L'unica ė limare il ponte in plastica e regolare poi di conseguenza il trussrod.

What kind of strings do you have on this?
The description mentions flatwounds by Ernie Ball. ;-)
What kind of amp do you use?
No amp. Directly in a DAW

Hi, great solo ! What exactly strings do You use?
HI! thank U. i believe these were Ernie Ball Flatwounds
Maybe cut out some of the 16th don’t want to over kill, but good stuff
Complimenti. Consiglieresti questo strumento per impratichirsi con il fretless?
grazie andrea. sinceramente no perchè ha lastiera cieca e un action più alta di un elettrico (con una tastiera decente, ovviamente). se ti vuoi avvicinare al fretless ma non spendere molto ti consiglio il modello jazz bass sempre Harley Benton
