If it doesnt include a clip for an impact driver and a framing hammer, I don’t want one.

Exactly, the only thing on the back of the head stock should be the truly useful hootenany button. #tradition

It doesn’t even have a slot for a tape

I dunno… Seems ideal to replicate that typical Fender neck dive for those who don’t own a Fender bass :joy:

Great point @Mike_NL The Fender headstock isn’t for everyone. It separates out the weak. The sort of people who need a tool to open a jar. Keyboard warriors, telephone tough guys etc. :wink:

And now it’s time once again for…
“The most expensive basses on Reverb - why?”

You would think for $50k they would throw in free shipping.

Well, to be fair, this isn’t this the traditional tool set for people with a massive floating tremelo system? In order to change a string and tune the guitars with those things, you actually need several different sized hex wrenches…
And possibly aerospace engineering skills.

I remember the ominous feeling of doom when I worked at the guitar shop and someone would bring in their shred-mobile-floyd-rose-tremelo guitar for a re-string. Brutal stuff.

You laugh…but the button back there spreads the load over your entire back instead of 10 pounds of vulcan neck pinch…too bad it makes you look like a country dork

I have one of those, I despise changing the strings on it. What a PITA.

Like the two pickups on the left, they took one split pickup and have 12 strings across it. It’s just dumb, and I don’t say that often

I mean WTH are those two on the left? Electric Banjos? Looks like about a 20" scale.

Then it’s a lot of humbuckers and P’s, good choices, and finally a lone single coil on the 7-string. Someone raided the spare parts bin!

On which one?

Someone would have to ski across that pile of necks to get them all to sound at one time.

It would be loud, though. :hear_no_evil:
