alyctes Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I suspect it's overpriced though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Headway-Riverhead-Unicorn-Bass/222995093508?hash=item33eb8b1804:g:iUMAAOSwz4FbCycB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I remember them from back in the day. I'd say that it is overpriced a bit too rarity and value do not necessarily go hand in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'm guessing Bassassin will be interested in this. I heard one of these being played once and it was a league above the Hohner B2A - sounded fantastic. I prefer the look, too - like a streamlined Burn's Flyte.

prowla Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Funnily enough, I was only yesterday thinking about a Flyte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collection only & £300 start makes it more than the impulse buy it would (probably) need to be but yeah, I'll be watching. They really don't turn up that often but the couple I've narrowly missed over the last year or two have been a lot cheaper than that. I remember trying one of these at The Bass Centre in the 80s, light-years out of my league then in both price & playability. Aesthetically always my favourite headless (didn't know it was a Flyte rip-off when I first saw one!) and almost on my list of Basses I Need To Own. Really would have to be a pink one, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was part of the reason I posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I owned one of these in black. Bought from AC/DC's drum tech with the money I had left over at the end of my 2nd year of University. Grants and all that stuff. Sorry kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Really like the look of these - don't have £300 spare though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
