Better than expected - REALLY!
Found this gem accidentally - I was hoping against hope for a left handed fretless bass (very rare things are lefty fretless basses) in the, er, Left handed bass section, but actually it was hiding in plain sight in the Fretless section. Saw it, bought it, fitted it with flatwound strings and off I went. A slight tweak here and there and it performed very well indeed. I had borrowed a fretless Stringr ay forcomparison the JB-40 held its own remarkably well.
Highly recommended.

Great value fretless bass
I purchased this after watching LowEndLobster's review of the bass and am very happy with the bass. Great feeling neck and great sounds. The finish is the only feature that could be a bit better but no complaints for this price. Great instrument.

Cheapest lefty fretless on the market - INCREDIBLE value for money
Fantastic value for money! Great set up out of the box, no intonation issues and fantastic craftsmanship for the price. I like it more than lefty fretless from Vintage

Lots of Pro features, A wonderful fretless for lefties (and righties).
So this bass is from Harley Benton's Deluxe Series. It has an American ash body in a delightful, glossy, sunburst finish. The Canadian maple neck has a good feel with a satin finish. The Laurel fretboard has fret lines. The pick-ups perform well. The tonal quality are present. This bass excels in expectation. Thank you Harley Benton. Lot's of pro-bass features.

Wonderful!
One of the best basses below ~$700 I ever played. Thanks for giving the opportunity for lefties to have a fretless classical looking jazz bass. I love some details: 3-tone sunburst, without pickguard, natural finish on the neck. The string height is perfect and adjusted very well. I tried to set up intonation action etc but apparently they set up and check the guitar carefully before sending. I did not change anything :) Strongly recommend this cheap but high quality bass.

Incredible value and actually a great instrument
Like the other reviewers I almost could not believe how good this instrument is. Us leftys are not well served with fretless basses. This one plays beautifully and is really well made, intonation was perfect out of the box. There was an issue with one tuner which Thomann rectified quickly. It is a joy to play!
