Headless P bass

[Bassman Sam]

I really like the idea, wonder how it plays?

I've wondered why somebody hadn't done this before...I've got a spare headless system for just this kind of thing (finding a good bass with a broken headstock)

Given that the rest of it looks pretty standard, it makes me wonder about neck-soar (that's the opposite of neck-dive).

Well it's solved one of the design issues of the Fender.

I think the 'cut' for removing the head is slightly too high. Research leads me to believe that it should really have been sawn 17" (or so) closer to the body - roughly the 12th fret should do it.

Vile!

It's pretty much like a Hohner Jack, with a P pup. They're nice little basses, don't see why this shouldn't be?

Agree. I think this looks better than the typical layout, TBH; the lumpy Fender body doesn't look so bad, somehow.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

But why waste a decent headless system on a Precision?
