I didn't even register that So maybe a DBE B string would work... Anyone fancy buying one so we can find out?

Sure. I'll take a dozen or so. Have your people contact my people.

Hahahahahaha! I wish.

Crikey yeah! I'd have someone's eye out with that before the interval.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the bc rich testicle rest headstock is the ultimate candidate for me

We need images complete with testicles.

If there are, they will not be mine 😉
Mine seem to to reside in my wife's handbag 😳

How do your balls rest sideways?

Those of us over fifty or so have little difficulty with the reach. Everything sags.

That's a pointier headstock than I usually like though. I'd have to be careful mounting and dismounting my gentleman jewellery.

Alternatively, it could be used to emasculate hecklers in the mosh pit with a deft thrust and a swift twist...

You gave her the sac?

My deepest sympathy. Never having married I can't really appreciate what that's like.

This now leaves me with a mix of fear and morbid fascination every time I open this thread.

He has headstocks. He has all the best headstocks.
Personally I think it's a great design. It's great. Great.

With my poor eyesight that looks like it says [i]Rickenbarker[/i]. In this instance it's appropriate.

Lovely bit of Art Deco!

Bit of thread revival here but have JayDee been mentioned yet? Hideous!

All headstocks are the spawn of Satan. Although they do come in handy if you're using wall hangers for your basses.

Someone from the Secret Headstock Appreciation Team have sent one of the boys around with a mime of their latest design.
