Yamaha headless bass

[iconic]

I never knew that Yamaha made a headless bass BX-1, what a looker, any headless bass floats my boat looks wise, but there must be some reason why they never seem to catch on, which makes it even more bizzare that the those old proper Steinberger's make such big money?

Seems these BX-1's were deleted after maybe 2/3 years....such a cool looking bass to my shallow, easily impressed eyes






...and I like that pink Yamaha bass from the same 1985 catalog too

a bit way out in shape and inconclusive as an icon follower

Aria Pro II also did the WL series (circa '85), its version of the cricket bat, and a headless version of the SB series (circa '93). Neither model stayed in its catalogue for very long.

better in black, but I'd still give it a home

Headless basses make me want to cross my legs. Why is that?

Oh, maybe [i]that's[/i] why they never caught on.
