steve Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 nice, I have an unrequieted thing about headless basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Not overly keen on the King Bass, but I LOVE the other 2. Id really love to own a Series 2 /S2 some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crez5150 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 yes I agree..... I could never go back to a headed bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just personally find that aesthetically.. headed basses do it for me. Then again I USED to think the pbass was the ugliest bass around. Now i own and love one.

Golchen Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Love that middle one! I presume that's an early status. I can't quite decide if I prefer headed or headless. I always wanted a headless bass and have one now, but I can't decide if I'd go for headed if I ordered a new one. There's something a bit un-rock n roll about no head IMO.

RaNoFuNkY Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hail to the King baby!! Simply stunning. Damn the slings and arrows of outrageous financial misfortune at present! Do you have a personal favourite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that's an early status.[/quote] Yes, it's a 1990 "third phase" Series 2 (the one they eventually renamed the Empathy), serial no. 538, so only a few ahead of my original #402. Lovely cocobolo facing wood with cherry back - Oh, and a John East preamp, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You already have one, anyway - Oh, did you see the stunning transparent red KingBass on Statii.com? [quote]RanoFunky. Do you have a personal favourite?[/quote] Hmmm... Tricky - I think it has to be the KingBass. It's the second one I've had & it sounds so different to the other two. Even faster to play (and that's saying something!!!)
