NBD - Baboomin Headless Bass

If they're $2500USD then get a Maruszczyk Headless Frog like mine, with three-position humbucker switches (single, series, parallel) and Delano XTender pickups + five strings and custom everything. I bought mine for $3250 Canadian which is less than $2500 USD for something hand made and bespoke to me.
YMMV. Personally if this bass was $1200 USD I'd probably buy it, but until it proves itself and its quality control, I wouldn't. I also won't buy an American fender having played a small pile of them and finding them no better in quality than their less expensive lines.
There's suddenly two reviews of these on my Youtube feed today, which brought me here. Nate Navarro's review of one is pretty compelling from the standpoint of flexibility and overall tone, but I think that guy could make a cigar box build sound great.

I sold it. Couldn’t get used to the headless thing. Sounded great though.
