(Slightly) modified Headless Bass
Hi,
I'm not sure, is it very cool or definitely UNCOOL:
So go and decide for yourself:
Traveling Westone Bass
Here a short translation from the original German description:
Westone Headless Bass, modified to a small and as light as possible Travel Basss for practising abroad.
Fixed strap and integrated cable, to connect to a head phone amp. Works also into a normal amp.
The bass works perfect, based on the massive changes the bass will be sold as broken/spare parts....

Re: (Slightly) modified Headless Bass
Very interesting. I've just finished roasting Gibson for their 'toopid design "modifications" to two of their legendary guitars: LINK
Looks like they swiped the idea from Westone, except that Westone's is an all original design and done correctly; they didn't take an iconic guitar shape and ruin it!

Re: (Slightly) modified Headless Bass
Since there's only one pickup, I would assume someone broke their Rail bass somehow. Also, I would check with the seller to make sure the scale length is correct, the last time I saw one of these (which was how somebody fixed their damaged Rail bass), they rebuilt it with a 34" scale, which wouldn't work right with the neck.

Re: (Slightly) modified Headless Bass
The seller says it's the original bass, which was highly modified.
So my educated guess is, he stripped of the paint, took one pickup out and used a saw to put the body into the actual shape.
Modified a bit the electronics to. At least the neck looks quite original.

58 euros, 8 bids, someone likes it.
Should look pretty cool on stage with your shirt off, could see your belly button.
