We have a limited number of guitars with minor cosmetic blemishes that we are making available until they are gone. These guitars are fully functional and come with our 7 day satisfaction guarantee and 1 year warranty. They are fully inspected and setup in our US Inspection center but failed to meet our high quality standards due to cosmetic issues. The blemishes range from minor paint defects to minor fretboard discolorations etc. These could be either Generation 1 or Generation 2 instruments (identical specs with slightly different knob configuration and body routing). We apologize in advance that we can’t send pictures of specific instruments. Grab one now before they are gone!
The NEXT HNB5 5-string bass masterfully weaves tonal versatility, ergonomic comfort, and high-end appointments into a modern, multi-scale design.

A Go Anywhere, Do Anything 5-String For Every Player
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.
