HILS NEXT HNB5-5 String Multi-Scale Bass w Fanned Frets

The headless HNB5 showcases more bassist-friendly features than many basses four times its price. Its travel-ready headless construction makes it extremely comfortable to play. Its stable, 5-piece neck also supports a 33”-35” multi-scale, fanned-fret fingerboard with stainless steel frets for easy playability and an even, powerful tone from all of the strings. 

You’ll also find a pair of custom single-coil pickups and an active preamp with 3-band EQ onboard. Add in a pickup blend control and active/passive capabilities for nearly unlimited tonal options. 

The Ultimate Travel Bass

Weighing around 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) and coming with a deluxe padded gig bag, the HNB5 is also an ideal road companion.

The NEXT HNB5 5-string bass comes with a HILS Deluxe Padded Gig Bag.
