Rich Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Funny you should say that... I did consider a G&L-esque pointy bit for a while, but I figured it would have been a bit of a woodworking nightmare waiting to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Always liked that Aria headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Always loved the 90's Washburn headstocks, just pointy enough but with a nod to the classics too. I still have the 5 string version of this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleat Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The Aria for sure, but also like the Washburn Style as shown above. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MB 5 I have has a very scooped active jazz type sound, it's the natural finish one, for the 90's power metal band I was in it was just the ticket, but if you didn't want that sound then it couldn't really do anything else to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Seldon Guitars in Canada I love the look of these Seldon basses, particularly the ones with Thunderbird pickups. But, that headstock... 🙄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
