That bass puts me in mind of a pig roasting on a spit. Something about the finish plus those weird little teats either side of the bridge.

They are to stand the bass on so it doesn’t rest on the tuners. 
they are crazy carving shapes.

plus a pigs teats would be more down the body

I'm very lucky to have found this at the right time and right price. It's exceptional. (a fair bit posher than I am used too, ideally the house project we're doing lets me keep it) 

Well Jell.

I really, really fancy one of those, but at £7K? Ut-ut.

You get what you pay for with most custom basses.

Having seen what these guys put in to the design and construction of their basses, they're definitely worth 7 times a production line assembled Fender.

 

I know a lot of folks are more than happy to play a Fender, but I'm very glad folks like Le Fay are around.

 

Just my 2p.

And here is my Le Fay Remington Steele 6 RHT CC CAP Big Block bought brand new by my wife and offered to me:

Nice, except for the pointless headstock which it costs 350 euros for them to cut off and which you get lumbered with if you have a 4 or a 5.

For me, I doubt I would have got my Capone if it was a true headless… as my mental image of headless is 80s cheese that my personal taste doesn’t quite fit with… the faux headstock means I’m quite happy with how it looks and I imagine non musicians don’t even notice the difference.

It may not have a use outside of aesthetics, but if you think it suits the bass - I personally love the look of it - it's not pointless.
