Headstocks, And Nothing But
Headstocks, And Nothing But
That's the name of the game. Come one, come all. Bass, Guitar, 6 or 12. As long as the Headstock is the center of attention, it's welcome here.

OK, here's one I particularly like:

If Mozart were with us today, he'd play a Fireglo 4001C64! ~~~*~~~ Beethoven, on the other hand, would play a Matte Jetglo 4001C64S!

Re: Headstocks, And Nothing But
Here's another one of mine that I like a lot:

Re: Headstocks, And Nothing But
Of course, this one's kinda cool too...

Re: Headstocks, And Nothing But
This one's a bit rough and has plenty of "battle scars", but it plays like a dream...
This one's nice too...

Looks like that first fret is a ways down on the fingerboard (last pic - fireglo).cjj wrote:This one's a bit rough and has plenty of "battle scars", but it plays like a dream...This one's nice too...

Re: Headstocks, And Nothing But
I really like how those slots are cut for the truss rod nuts, instead of a giant hole. Wish mine was like that.cjj wrote:Of course, this one's kinda cool too...
Re: Headstocks, And Nothing But
Well, as you may notice, there are no adjusting nuts there either. That's because these are the "old style" folded rods and the adjusting nuts are at the body end instead of at the headstock (as done on the 4001). This was done on early 4003 basses before they came up with the new truss rod system and put them back at the headstock, where they are much easier to deal with...Spike- wrote:I really like how those slots are cut for the truss rod nuts, instead of a giant hole.

Yeah, it's about 33.25 inches down the fingerboard...

Re: Headstocks, And Nothing But
Actually I haden't noticed I thought the shadow was hiding the nut or something. Regardless, I still like that headstock. Although I may be a bit biased since it shares the same type of 'wave' as my 480. (sharper, more defined crest)cjj wrote:Well, as you may notice, there are no adjusting nuts there either.
