Hohner B2 owners, please answer.

Hello,
First, I need photos of Hohner B2 bass. Especially, I need photos taken in that way, so I can see the action (thats the space between string and fretboard, right?) of the strings.

I also need comments like pros and cons for this headless passive bass. I know it looks a little weird, but its ok with me, i need it for room playing. More I mean sound vise and quality vise. On youtube I can't really find anything that I need.

Also, if you have some recordings, or videos playing this particular model - please I would like to hear it.

This model, I think to buy, is 20 years old.
Thanks

I don't see how pics of someone else's bass will tell you what the action is like on the one you may buy. The neck is adjustable, as are the bridge pieces. I've owned a few of these, along with the 5 string version (although all the 5's I've owned have been active/passive) - the action can be set low if needed.

I've always been a fan of the headless design - owned Hohners, Steinberger Spirits, 'real' Steinbergers, a Cort copy, and now a Status. The passive PJ Cort version I owned had a nice sound - I tended to favor the P pu and dial in a bit of the J.

Well, I dont understand that much of guitars, but i thought, if the action is low, than there would be string fuzz on the frets higher than the position i put finger on.
If action to high, this can be avoided, but that fingers hurt, and harder to play.
I really need this to help myself to see if the 20year old bass is in good condition, I afraid of over-tghtened strings in the past...
Sorry about my bad English.

I really like what I READ about this bass, but also I scared not to throw away my budget by buying faulty bass.... So thats why I ask for those pics and vids so I can hear the thing....
