gafbass02 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Ok. So, this is a bit different! Bought recently to see if I liked headless. Which I do. So I’ve since bought an EHB, and this is now taking up space in the rack. Dunno if the work was done by someone on here, but it’s a cracking job! Apparently it lost its head unceremoniously. The thing plays great with a nice low action. All the electronics are standard (older model) SR500, with no issues or drama. It’s currently wearing a brand new set of light strings with a 100 E. The weight is around 8lbs, about 7.5 of which is the bridge! 😂 (hence I’ve added a second lower strap button on the bottom a la status - this works great.) There’s a custom fabricated shim plate in the neck joint to compensate for the larger bridge and it’s just a total blast to play. A real slap monster Strictly collection only from Cheltenham. - I really do have no time or facility to post I’m afraid. £170 collected ONO Im not that fussed about selling, it’s a fun thing to have around, it’s just not getting used at all. Please do study the pics carefully. Edited June 24 by gafbass02 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Quick and dirty phone vid to show that, despite my dodgy playing, it really does play just fine It’s fun and tiny IMG_8037.mov Edited July 16, 2023 by gafbass02 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I do like a DIY headless, imho they often look much better than the original incarnation 😁 .. that looks very tidy indeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Nice. (And if that's dodgy playing, I am a person of Low Countries extraction... !) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I do like that a lot, looks like a very well-done conversion. Would be seriously interested if I didn't have both an SR500 and a wilfully decapitated bass already. And if you weren't 400-odd miles away... GLWTS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Thanks I’ve also discovered that it takes regular gauge strings just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
