Ok now. I'm sure this has been covered but...... Why is the headstock on the Epiphone Vintage Pro almost the size of a neck on a short scale bass ?

That's worse than an M1A1 Abrams tank. They get 1.67 gallons (US) per mile!
You are entitled to your opinion.
There must be a focus group out there that liked it, else they wouldn't have made it.I don't like it. There is something wrong to my eye. It is like a strat with a fat a$$ and a partially amputated upper horn.
It's best practice in audio. It may not make a difference in a control cavity, but it also may. I tend to star ground everything I build, mod, or dehumbug.
Yes! But think Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound of those.

It doubles as a boat paddle.

It's just how you look at it - if you consider the original early '60s T-bird hs as the starting point.., every other bass hs is small by comparison.
other than a mid '60s Teisco Del Rey (short -scale!)

Real picture taken today at L&M. Between that and the Meteor, I have to wonder if the lettuce was exchanged at the Fender lunch room...
It's an upside-down body. They've been making them for years. An a-hole I used to play with played those and loved them. I guess that says something.You are entitled to your opinion.

There's a live Sex Pistols video on Youtube where you can actually hear him, he's not as bad as everyone says, he was mostly playing the correct notes just sounded like he never practiced, missed a lot of notes, stuff like that, I don't think it was dubbed. Course Glen Matlock was very good.
Here's Glen Matlock playing an early double cutaway EB-0 with Iggy.
Sex Pistols live 1978 Sid misses a lot of notes, it's plugged in but who knows.

It's gotta be a joke. Supposedly Sid was never plugged in because he couldn't play, and a roadie was playing his parts behind the amp. Sid was basically all image for them.
I had no idea they'd just kept going. Hardly missed a beat, and Pete even hammered the gong. Other than coming back in from the synth break, where the drums pop in an out, they're not as overwhelmingly absent as expected. What a band.
I've had to be the whole rhythm section a couple of times, but it was either because the drummer didn't show so we adjusted things (easier to do in church where we were always re-inventing how we played songs, anyway, than in a band playing well-known songs), or when the sound system went wonky. But I'm no Ox.
