Ned's really milking that cow. Sells his name brand, starts a new brand then gets a job designing something that can be mass produced from Gibson while still maintaining his own operation. My hunch is the new instruments would be limited to guitars since he doesn't already make them with NS design and basses would be a conflict of interest. I think a 20/20 redux is as likely as Geddy Lee bringing back his 80s hair

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Makes sense. Headless guitars are all the rage these days, especially in the prog-metal world.

A 20/20 is extremely unlikely. If they ever did a reissue, it likely would be headless. To date, it is the only Gibson/Steinberger collaboration that I’m aware of…………..

A friend is selling locally this short scale headless Kiesel and I'm tempted. It's a well-built bass and a joy to play.



The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

I don't think I could ever get used to a headstock not being there.

I picked up a Unicorn a couple of years ago and was immediately was comfy with it . I remember thinking it was going to more of a change than it actually was .
