Hellzero Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I like the E-bow niche idea, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I saw that - not keen on headless instruments with keywind tuners at the opposite end, though; it seems a bit daft to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I tried a similar thing out ( second hand used I think) in one of the London guitar shops many years ago ( when they still existed) it was the same configuration but had a proper "body" ...it was quite good in fact and had it been a bargain I would've been tempted....headless I don't mind at all, I had one of those "The Jack" basses and used it for gigs, it sounded decent and stayed in tune so all good. The thing I'm not keen on with your one here is the lack of a body really, interesting find tho 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 You need the thumb rests for the sound, but I don’t know what those two horizontal bars are for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Something like that would be good, but personally I've absolutely no use for a git!.....a fretted and fretless like the OP but with a body like the one above was (as I recall) the type of thing I tried and thought was cool !

Indeed....the one I tried was a headless version of a thing like that, unfortunately I can't recall what make it was, the body was in black and darkish RW or whatever fingerboards, the fretless neck was plain unlined The op ebay one is on about 100 quid+ loose change at the mo.. be fun to see what it sells for in the end !
