Steve Haynie 12,193 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think the concept is ingenious. The bass has a built in shillelagh for those times the audience gets out of hand. 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
killerteddybear 7,566 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think those knobs are a reference to the upright bass origins. Looks fine on an upright and stupid on an electric. And who needs the extra neck dive?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stobro 649 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) I had a cheap upright bass with this pegbox. Apparently Framus sold an electric upright with a similar style. It must be a German thing, because my old bass was stamped "Made in Western Germany". It didn't have any other identifying marks. Edited November 16, 2020 by stobro Edited to use a clearer picture.

Menehune 371 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 This is too easy. Any v-wing headstock Any reverse hockeystick headstock THIS misbegotten thing: And that Kelvin Daly's headknob? Makes a great muddler for a community mojito. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crunchee 5,394 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Carvin's pointy inline 12-string headstock yet. According to carvinmuseum.com, they only made them in 1988-9, which must've been the high-water mark for pointy guitars. It probably sounded like a better design in theory, but wound up in practice more like a nightmare: http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/88-guitars.html http://www.carvinmuseum.com/whatmodelguitar.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

velorush 5,751 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Does look like a photoshop mishap: This one has always been most appalling to me: mostly because the guitars receive generally great reviews. Why? Why? 5 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drew816 370 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If attacked on stage you're armed, and the back serves as a bottle opener. It's the Win/Win headstock from Ed Roman who everyone knows is the best at well, everything; so it must be great! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
