Cosmo Valdemar Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I had a dream about one of these basses once. When I asked the guy in the shop to get it down for me it was an Aria SB1000, but was a Steinberger when he gave it to me. The sound was beyond anything I had ever imagined and I soon had a crowd of gasping admirers. Caused quite severe GAS for some time, let me tell you.

And as for it having no head, its alright! not really noticed any difference interms of finding my way around, although im used to playing a restrung righty so its gonna take me a long while to get used to it, if I had a complaint it would be theres nowhere to put your bridge hand, but tbh, you can rest it on top and I usually alternate between finger and pick anyway so its not much of a big deal.

It is just a piece of stainless steel tube (3x4 millimeters) on which I flattened the ends, I also put a couple of spacer rings with a thickness of 3 millimeters between this tube and the pickup rings to get it on the height I wanted it to be from the body.
