NBD! I'm losing my head over this one!

- No neck dive
- Compact, you don't hit your guitarist's head so easily
- Fits in a guitar gig bag = easy transport, e.g. on a plane
- Usually no dead spots
- Punchy and direct sound
- Looks b@d@$$
- straight string pull stays in tune longer
- much finer tuning, usually around the 40:1 mark
- better balance as there's no weight at the end of the neck
- if using DB strings, changes are really fast

Negatives:
- fools who make 80's comments
- Compact, you don't hit your guitarist's head so easily
 
where's the end of the neck thingy??? jk. normally don't love the headless basses but this one is tasty looking.
Ha :woot:
No “neck thingy” on my top three now, it fits into this family nicely.

Any idea why the Aguilar logo is already rubbed off the neck pickup? Or is that a trick of the light? I have DCB's in one of my basses and the same thing happened, but I'm the second owner and have had it a few years.

Edit: Also, freaking stunning bass! I love everything about it.

It’s funny, that pickup doesn’t photograph well for some reason, or only at certain angles as it is totally fine.
