The headless picture pages...

I've just put up a renovation thread for my headless

This is my 1985 Westone Superheadless that's been modified by me. I got Wizard to make me some custom pups and married them up to a Nordstrand preamp with Vol/pull passive, pan pot, B/M/T, twin midrange pullpot selector. The three way switch is unused, from the original electronics.

It's battle scarred, but was my go to bass for a long time. Bought brand new as a surprise Christmas present from my wife back in '85, it'll never be sold by me, certainly not for £30 @Bassassin   😆

I remember playing one of those back in the 80's in a local music shop.  I'd never seen one before and, not being a fan of Westone at all as an owner, I was very impressed with how it sounded and played.  It made me question even more the POS Westone I had at the time.

I wish....

I love headless basses (the 80s kid in me) and follow developments in the gear available.

If they want to send me parts I'm sure I can find a way of using them..

I like to think of him as an early, but discarded, prototype of Rodin's 'The Thinker'

My Steinberger Spirit. It's been my go to bass for many years and despite my main bass now being a Stingray, I use this as the back-up bass or for gigs where the space is limited. It has the drop D tuner and it's fitted with a GK3B pickup for a Vbass.
