Chaparral 5-String Bass on eBay

No affiliation. I like the headstock, I would think that this headstock configuration would put more tension on the low B string and minimize string floppiness that other 5-stringers seem to have on the low B. Does anybody here have/had any encounters with this style of headstock?

Correct, and yes.

It really does make a difference. I'm still kicking myself for selling the one I had, but am waiting for that "right of first refusal" clause to kick in when the current owner decides to sell.

Pretty sure that will be never though!

These are really nice basses. Great necks and the B isn't floppy.

I have a white one with Bartolini's in it. Great bass
