HILS NEXT HNB3 Short-Scale Headless Bass
Big Bass Tone. Travel-Friendly Design. Effortless Playability.
Meet the HILS NEXT HNB3 — a modern short-scale headless bass built for players who want full, punchy tone without the weight, bulk, or stretch of a traditional full-size bass.
With its comfortable 30" scale length, lightweight headless design, and warm mahogany body, the HNB3 is an easy-to-play bass that feels instantly familiar — especially for guitarists, smaller-framed players, traveling musicians, and anyone who wants a bass that is simply more fun to pick up.
At just 5.5 pounds and only 36.5" in overall length, the HNB3 is compact, balanced, and gig-bag ready. Take it to rehearsal, the studio, the stage, or even on the road without fighting neck dive, shoulder fatigue, or oversized cases.
Why Players Love the HNB3
The HNB3 delivers the sweet spot between vintage-inspired bass tone and modern headless convenience. The single humbucker gives you a strong, focused voice with plenty of punch, while the shorter scale enhances the fundamental and makes wide stretches easier. The result is a bass that feels fast, comfortable, and surprisingly powerful.
Whether you’re laying down tracks at home, playing a full set on stage, adding bass to your guitar collection, or buying your first serious bass, the HNB3 makes it easy to get inspired.
Key Features
Short-Scale Comfort
The 30" scale length makes the HNB3 easier to play than many full-scale basses, with less reach required and a smooth, relaxed feel across the neck.
Lightweight Headless Design
At only 5.5 pounds, this bass is built for long sessions, long gigs, and easy travel. The headless construction helps reduce bulk and improves balance.
Warm Mahogany Body
The mahogany body adds warmth, resonance, and a solid tonal foundation.
Stable 5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck
The 5-piece maple/walnut neck offers strength, stability, and a smooth satin feel.
Punchy Single Humbucker Tone
A single humbucker setup keeps things simple and powerful, with a focused tone that works for rock, pop, worship, funk, recording, and everyday playing.
24 Stainless Steel Frets
Durable stainless steel frets provide smooth playability and long-lasting performance.
Mono-Rail Bridge
The custom mono-rail bridge design helps support tuning stability, sustain, and individual string definition, 20mm string spacing.
Deluxe Padded Gig Bag Included
The HNB3 comes ready to travel with a deluxe padded gig bag.
Built for Guitar Players, Bass Players, and Travelers
Many guitarists find traditional basses too long, heavy, or awkward. The HNB3 solves that. Its 30" scale and compact headless body make it feel natural in your hands while still delivering real bass tone.
For bass players, it’s a lightweight, stage-ready alternative that does not feel like a compromise. For travelers, it’s the kind of instrument you can actually bring with you. For recording, it is compact enough to keep within reach and inspiring enough to become your go-to bass.
