Weirdest Headstock ever?

[Daveypoo]

I saw this on Instagram earlier... I don't care either way about Schwarzenegger but I could not stop staring at that headstock. Pointy? Two and two tuners with the one on the pointiest end going the wrong way? Whaaaaaat???

Anyone have a clue what bass this could be?

No, but here is the rest of this bass.

The D string tuner pointing down is peculiar, but otherwise it looks like a pretty efficient head stock. Just enough wood to get the job done.

I don't think it is one, but it really reminds me of the Tune basses.

Cool bass! Suits Oktoberfest, jah. Maybe a local Munich boutique?

One of the ugliest, on an otherwise amazing bass, is the Wal headstock. Like a wooden spatula or a salmon plank for the bbq grill lol.

I saw that earlier and thought the same thing. Not so much about the pointy-ness, but *** is with those tuners?!

The band is called Vollgas Orchester, the bass player is called Roland Frey. He seems to have a pretty nice collection of basses (Vigier, Human Base). His website is Roland Frey, if you really want to know, send him a message

The OP bass is an odd configuration but it may be practical in use. This one I consider odd no matter the perspective...

Translate "BITE" in French and you will find it even odder.

This one right here….

I have never seen anyone use these.

I saw that thing and assumed it was a bass formerly known as a Jazz. I guess boutique is in the eye of the beholder

I love the Wal headstock. The Alleva Coppolo, on the other hand.....

Tyler…by a long shot. I owned one and it was a fabulous and beautifully finished bass, but I could never get over the headstock.

I pretty much figured the whackiest design I can recall will get blown away by something 10 times weirder.

I always had a soft spot for the Spaceranger bass.
