headless bass

  1. Andi Ohne

    Help!!! What is this headles bass?

    I bought this headless bass used and the seller didn't have any information on who built it. He said he bought it as a Status Bass. But there is no markings whatsoever on it to identify it. So it might be custom built after all. All i found is that it supposedly uses Rockinger ABM mechanics form...

    NS Design Radius bass nut

    I recently picked up an NS CR6 fretless and it has what appears to be an aluminum (or some other metal) nut. Ive never seen one before and wondered if there is any tonal advantage to it. Since its a headless, the nut acts more like a bridge saddle so Im wondering if it even matters.

    Try your hardest to convince me to play a headless.

    It's all in the title. I've never played a headless-- Why? Because I think they're gimmicky and I generally dislike their look. Not discrediting anyone who likes them. I really, REALLY want to learn to love these things, but they look like a baseball bat with a slab of meat at the end. What's so...

    Extremely rare find

    So I consider myself a traditionalist in a lot of ways. Although I love a lot of the modern and higher end boutique basses with the latest greatest designs and engineering, and I have or have owned many, I still gravitate back to the simple “old faithful” designs for some reason. Well yesterday...

    What Gig Bags Are You All Using For Your Headless Basses?
