Headless Bongo...

[theosd]

Now that would look cool. Yes? No?

 

[AnthonyD]

Gonna say "No"...

I like the way the crescent shape is carried throughout the design of the bass, including the headstock...

 

[Big Poppa]

How about a headless Jessica Alba? Don think so

 

[theosd]

I've done a quick mock-up for reference

 

[Dr Stankface]

I'm going to go with no as well.

 

[theosd]

Hehe, I guess it would be a resounding 'no' then! I was implying only as a curiosity, I love the way the Bongo looks already, but to have a headless option (which compliments the horns quite well, IMO, would be pretty cool =]

 

[mynan]

There wouldn't be anything to hit cymbols, mic stands, etc. with. More appropriate, maybe, would be if they all came with the little ding on the head that I've heard they all eventually get.

 

[adouglas]

Nope. Nyet. Nein. Non.

 

[RitchieDarling]

AH! I likes me some Steinberger...... But a headless EBMM anything would just be sick and wrong....

I'm having a Maalox moment....

Looks like a Bad copy of a Cort bass. NO.

 

[theosd]

Haha! Fair enough!

 

[bassmonkeee]

Honestly, as it looks in that picture isn't too offensive to me (although, it still pales compared to the headstock reality).

But, considering what would be required to actually tune the thing, it quickly goes to "Yuck--why bother?" territory.

Let's not mess with the Bongo or Jessica Alba alright!!

I believe if we rephrased this as "topless Jessica Alba," I'm fairly certain we could find some common ground for everyone to agree.

 

[Oldtoe]

Without the headstock, I would have nothing with which to hit drummers over the head when they rush, or fend off toothless, drunken Skynyrd-seekers.

 

[steapien]

Wkat I like the most in Bongo is sound and head so it's "no" from me.

I'm not going to deny that I've always liked headless basses, but from that picture I can tell that such design is a no-no for the Bongo.

Are you suggesting that some people would like it if the pickguard was removed?

 

[Aussie Mark]

A headless Jessica Alba would have a market.

I like headstocks
