Opinions? of Hohner headless basses by steinberger?

My Dad is. Despite his best efforts, it didn't really take with me, but I had some fun times tagging along while he did it. He got into a pretty heavy art/drawing/painting phase for awhile and trout were a pretty prevalent theme...he did some pretty cool christmas cards at one point that had a sort of ring of swimming trout drawn on them, like a trout wreath. Wish I had one handy to scan and post. Anyway, he spent a fair amount of time trying to capture the complexity of various trout coloration on paper with various art media, and I knew he'd see that super-detailed and textured paintjob and dig the hell out it.

That's too cool. I love hearing about artistic people who use their talents for their own pleasure. Please tell your dad I read about his Christmas cards and said, "Atta boy!"

Also tell him, "Tight lines!"

I think all of this means you need to have a bass re-painted as a trout!!!

I think one of the cool aspects of your project was that you took a sort of "non-organic"-looking instrument, which visually was kind of a product of new wave 80s Devo video mayhem, and--years after the look became passe--you totally re-imagined it and recast it with a nature-themed paintjob, and it even manages to accentuate and soften the squarish lines of the instrument. Like, it's a pretty out-there idea, and its effect is profound.

Anyone willing to trade for a 5-string?
