Are they bold or bonkers? Anyone who complains that makers only churn out Fender clones can stop now. But is the world ready for headless again, Status had to bring in heads because they didn’t sell enough headless and whoever sees a Steinberg? God on them for trying but I Seriously don’t think they’ll catch on generally.
Used to have an unlined Washburn AB5; no problem eith unlined, but the neck on it was a tree! It was a 5 string but with the width sufficient to have converted to a 7. Now have a lovely lined Spectorcore which comes with the Fishman piezo bridge. Nice to play, but surprisingly lacking in Mwah.
The description on Thomman says semi hollow. Intrigued to know if that is the case, will it be head heavy, will it be reasonably light? It can’t really be called a Rickenfaker, it’s just a nod towards the Ric style.
I think it’s horrible, especially with the ramps. My guess that it will be really difficult to sell on when your fed up with it! I bet the ramps are adding a lot weight to an already heavy bass.
I hope you didn’t have to pay the 600 and odd dollars they suggest on the website as a recommended selling price. You could have a real Spector for that price.
