Makes no sense to me, either. I think I ranted about this elsewhere on this forum earlier this week. I guess you can't make a rocker out of an old folkie like me. I still don't get it.

Oh come on, that headless steinberger treatment is bound to make sound far better than the original design...

One way to get Geddy to play a "Rick" again! :lol: :twisted:

It would be interesting to hear this bass, but I doubt the statement it still sounds like a Rick.

I almost had a custom headless made with a walnut "S" inspired body a few years back, but I came to my senses first...

I always joke with my son when he gets a bump. I jokingly tell him it won't hurt if we lop it off. I told him next time he stubbed his toe, we could cut it off and make him a little brother! I think he was actually kind of excited about that!
