Wow! All these are wonderful! And the Seis - Flamboyant headless is for me one of the most beautiful bass designs ever made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just superb collection! For me, headless Sei Flamboyant is one of the most beautiful bass body shapes ever made. 👍👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHeart Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 On 07/08/2020 at 00:54, AngelDeVille said: that’s just beautiful, my favorite bass is a telexplorer, I may need to operate... did you build it? Can you send me a parts list? Yeah, I bought the body off ebay which is paulownia, if I ever see an ash or anything other than paulownia I`ll be re bodying it, pulownia is a nightmare to work with if you don`t have much gear. The pickups are Warman, the bridge is a Overlord of music which have had bad reviews but this one seems ok with my little mods, the neck was bought off here years ago and I`ve since added a vbt loom rather than the hidden switches as I couldn`t get the sound out of it I was wanting. The string retainers are cheap chinese things but they are getting replaced shortly with the retainer that came with the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 This is definitely not a guitar of course... It's headless, it has strings, it's made by one of this parish, therefore it counts! A Reiver Kompakt T7 with ART burl top and a flame Sycamore board. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 On 18/01/2020 at 01:01, Bassassin said: Future headless ambitions include a Riverhead Unicorn (had GAS since the 80s when I couldn't afford one), Hohner Jack (the J/J version) Westone Super Headless (when one turns up at the car boot for £30) Status S2/S2000 (see previous entry) - and probably more realistically, a conversion of a sort-of Rickenfaker I've had kicking around for years, which has one of the ugliest & most incongruous headstocks I've seen. A year later, one out of five ain't bad under the circumstances: Yes, I do expect some appreciation for the thematically appropriate background! And what a lovely little bass it is - cheers @PaulS! Lack of car boots during the pandemic mean the quest for £30 Westones & Statii (stranger things have happened) has been a non-starter, but I got as far as buying hardware for the Faker conversion before sub-zero temperatures, apathy & weapons-grade self-pity conspired to keep me out of the garage. Soon though. Maybe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
