paul h Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 One for the SX fans, from the newsletter. [quote]There are some great deals on basses that will probably never be back again (the ones under $100). This is the last of the 2008 pricing. Also SX bass headstocks will be changing in 2009 so this is also the last chance to get this traditional style.[/quote] They have the PJs in at $99.99 at the moment so it might be worthwhile taking advantage. Not me...I would love a PJ but I am not quite ready to get divorced. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I wonder if that means the headstock will be changing to something slightly more Fender-like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul h Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I like the current headstock so if they change it it might at least dampen my SX GAS. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm not sure if this has already been posted but this is apparently the new headstock design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 That's foul. Bye-bye, any interest in SX basses then. I suspect it's something to do with this + some lawyers: Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerboy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Excellent. I look forward to SX fans queuing up at my door in 2009 to buy the spare 'classic-style' jazz neck I have lying around. I might even add 'RARE!!!!!' to the description after next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerdragon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think the headstock shape is very important. ie: Fender P and J bass. perfect. Ric. the same. Gibson Les Paul guitars and basses ditto. everything else, big debate. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what that horrid stumpy pointy thing the SX head's been "redesigned" into would look right with - but it's not a traditional P or J shape. Although on reflection we accept the Fender shape because we're familiar with it - it's neither particularly attractive or well-matched to Fender body shapes when taken in isolation. And it's not particularly original either - go & Google "Bigsby Merle Travis" if you don't already know what Uncle Leo thieved it from. J.

Faithless Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 As my friend's tutor once said: there are people (kind of, errr, musicians???), who concentrate on just about everything like physics (related to music), aesthetics or any other kinda sh1t, but, NOT only on music in the 1st place.. If it's any good, it's for you to judge.. and headstock... Don't be ridiculous. Errr, was it just me?
