Dood Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think some of my least favourite headstocks are the ones where the designers were trying to make them look like the Fender outline, but slightly changed it [i]a bit[/i]. Not quite enough to look like the idea was ever any more than a sketch before it went to production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) That looks like one of the blanks for a d.i.y. neck. It's a very half arsed bit of design. Edited March 3, 2017 by MoonBassAlpha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Now I've got a bass from this lot myself and it's really good. But I have to say these gumby looking things on the end of the necks aren't pretty. Especially as a 5er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
