prowla Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I have to say I've never managed to quite latch on to Ibanez instruments. (Apart from possibly a vintage Ric copy.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open E Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Doesn’t really answer the thread but I had a Status Series 2000 in the late 80s and I was gutted when I found out that the bass player in Bros was using one to mime along with. It was however awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I had a Hohner Jack a number of years ago (late noughties) I used it on gigs quite a bit, it was a very good piece of kit IMHO and I liked it, sounded decent, good range of available tones as i recall, the one I had was black and looked appropriate to what I was doing at the time. Should've kept it probably (like so many others!).. oh yes, and you could kill the active circuit with a switch.. so you don't die if your battery does!

I'd still like one. [/quote] That's high on my Headless GASlist too. No. 1 is a Riverhead Unicorn: http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/riverhead-unicorn-rub-1100-custom-bass-821230.jpg Wanted one of these since 1985. Don't care that it's a bit (a lot!) of a Burns Flyte knockoff... I found one on kijiji for a good price a couple of years ago, unfortunately a friend got to it before I did. Several weeks later he flipped to me to fund something else he was gassing for. Great basses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycloud Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The Legator says "Neck-thru-body roasted maple neck". Yeah, nah, it's a BO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycloud Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I have a whole bunch of headless basses; Steinberger (Newburgh), Spirit, Hohner (3), Status, some stock, some modified. There are also at least 3 waiting for me to finish building. I love the looks of the Riverheads too, just not enough strings. In the mean time I'm looking to fund an Ibanez EHB1006MS. Headless rules.

I was happily being a Metal God playing my black and white Aria ZZB (look, it was the 80s, OK?) when I turned on the telly and there was Rick Mayall using one (upside down, left handed, admittedly) in Bad News 2... 🙁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’ve got a Cort headless Flying V guitar. Though mine is bright yellow at the moment. One day, many years ago, I saw it’s bass twin in a guitar shop. It took me a couple of days to decide (to convince my wife…) but I went back to get it and it had sold! Would have been cool to have both. Oh well! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I've just acquired a headless (courtesy of Pete Young on here) short scale - a Honda Alien- and although it was bought for a very specific purpose (getting a bass onto a plane as cheaply as poss), I'm enjoying the form factor of it round the house... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I've posted a pic my Rickenberger from time-to-time and it made an appearance at the last SE Bass Bash. It was inspired by Darren Redick's, which he had at a previous Bash. Edited January 24, 2023 by prowla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks tidy from the pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's gone, so someone got a good buy. Nice basses - the neck on the 5-string is a bit on the chunky side but the 4-string is fine. I like the Hohner headlesses enough to have a B2AV as a backup bass - takes up very little room, doesn't need a stand, makes a pretty good noise and reasonably playable.

There was one in Australia a while back at a store I passed regularly. I gave it a look, and it was in VGC, but they were after $A1800/UKP1035. I laughed and left. It was still there ~2y later and they still wouldn't budge on price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
