TheGreek Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 After playing the one I collected recently I would like opinion on whether what has been done to this should be considered "criminal". Remember I am a fan of headless basses. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-BB414-Head-Less-MOD-Head-Less-Bass-W-GB-Free-International-Shipping/123683088525 @AndyTravis?? @lee650??

AndyTravis Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yeah. Pile of shite. Would rather pleasure myself with shards of glass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Having gone through life (thus far) having avoided glass-related self-abuse I'm going to be wilfully different & say no. Or at least, not necessarily. Hard to really tell from the pics, but it does look like it's been competently done, and if the bass still plays OK then that's fine. Also depends why - if it suffered catastrophic headstock damage then this might've been the best way to rescue it. Have to say I might have a different view if the bass was an original 80s MIJ BB, though... Also bear in mind this is the opinion of someone who once did this to an unsuspecting SG copy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worse than you think, though, it's actually flourescent yellow - you wanna see it under UV light... On second thoughts, you probably don't, do you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness - it was the victim of a catastrophic headstock break, as well as me, 35 years ago, not being able to afford a proper headless...
