What Are The Benefits Of A Headless Bass Guitar?

Why go headless? Beyond their striking looks, headless basses offer superior balance, reduced weight, and exceptional tuning stability. Without a traditional headstock, these basses eliminate neck dive and reduce strain on your shoulders, making long sets more comfortable and providing a more balanced, effortlessly manoeuvrable instrument. Their compact design also means easier transport and improved durability – headstocks are a common point of failure for traditional basses.
