eude Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Man, that's heart breaking! I think I'd sell my car before I sold my bass Eude Quote
Deep Thought Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I hope this won't be regarded as heresy but I don't like that headstock-lovely looking bass, I really like that Shuker body shape but the headstock always seems rather squat and out of keeping with the sleekness of the body-in fact I can say this about a few of the boutique basses I've seen pics of-really nicely-shaped bodies with a sort of shapeless headstock which reminds me of the flat bit on the end of a squid's tentacle. If I were ordering it myself I'd be asking for a different headstock-then again I am a bit of a traditionalist! Each to his own I guess! Quote
thedontcarebear Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I agree about the headstock, they aren't really the nicest looking. Quote
wotnwhy Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) i agree too, which is why i designed my own Edited January 8, 2008 by wotnwhy Quote
