A robustly built bass with pockets of popularity in certain flood-prone regions of the earth - so I've heard. Where paddles make sense.

This one might have seen a flood.. And it's ferrari red!

Quite right. To then proceed to shut the whole forum into one along with you!

A bass inspired by a bass playing Thomann salesman who had cut the wings off his Aria headless bass, or so I've read. Sounds like something Gibson's marketing department would come up with.

Looky here.
In my opinion they are the coolest looking of all the "headless" basses.

Always looked like it would be played by Bo Diddley in a spacesuit.

"The best headless basses in the world are made in France by Christpohe Leduc.".....an exact quote from Mike Tobias, after I he had just had me play a green headless bass he had made for the bass player of Spinal Tap to get my opinion.
