Favourite headstock designs

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at another custom build and looking for a MINIMALIST headstock design. I really like the simplicity of the Bass Collection Nanyo but looking at a more 1+3 design - almost like the Ritter design. Not interested in the classic Fender design.

Need more ideas and inspiration so please post you favourite headstock designs for reference - may end up tweaking one of these for the build.

Cheers

I spent all day looking at piezos but they don't fit the headless system I have. If you can point me in the direction of a system that would fit I'd be very appreciative..

Just bury an Acoustic piezo under the nut ? You'd need to extend the cable

ETS do a piezo although it may only fit their own headless bridge system. I'll be following this thread as I've had similar intentions bubbling away.

Just looked at their website - built in 1066 by a lazy technophobe?? Really needs updating.

You could see if you can pick up an old Steinberger Synapse bridge and associated headless parts - there's a piezo in one piece saddle. Intonation can be a bit hit or miss with said saddle but the tone isn't too bad.
Here's one I found - https://www.collarwoodworks.com/products/511-original-steinberger-synapse-xs-1fpa-stereo-bridge-system-parts-project-diy
Even better is the piezo of an NS Design Radius - I suppose you could see if the parts can be purchased separately from a whole bass... though the design is a little different from the typical headless setup.

If you want the piezo bridge (which may fit in a standard Steinberger bridge like you might be able to pick up from a Hohner B2 type bass... you'd probbaly need measurements...) then they have one of those too:

No idea, I believe they use a company called Bass-Parts to distribute. However the ETS section of Bass Parts site isn't loading either :lol:
