prowla Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 What is the point of a bass with headless tuners and a headstock? Quote
Witch Hazel Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 i like the body. it's a bit different without being needlessly edgy. the fake headstock is awful though. according to the eBay description they make them with normal headless necks as well, and i can't imagine why someone wouldn't go with that option - maybe if they like the rest of it but really hate the headless look...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Look out! I think this is the mythical 'ugly stick' - make sure you don't get hit with it. 1 Quote
Hellzero Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 It's not more ugly than a Fender, but it's way more ergonomic and versatile. Try one and you'll understand. 😉 Quote

Try one and you'll understand. 😉 I'm rather tempted by a doubleneck, but I'm put off by their description of the neck profile as "round D" which seems to mean fat Fender, or possibly fat Warwick, and it's a lot to pay to find that it's not you want.

Hellzero Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 The neck is indeed round à la Warwick, but not as fat. Quote

I think it's either for the look like @Dad3353 suggested, a bendwell type function like a Status Kingbass: Or maybe it's to have the feel or hang-ability of a headed neck, while keeping most of the weight at the bridge end... there's probably other reasons I can't think of.
