Headless Monster

I suppose it was inevitable.

Monster's parting comment after our video shoot was, "You're lucky Orchid belongs to a 16-year old girl. Otherwise the bass would be going home with me."

It might have been a threat. I'm not sure.

So I called him a few days later to see if we were still friends. Conversation went something like this:

Toone: "Yo, Monster!"
Monster: "Wassup, Dude!"
Toone: "Hey, I was thinking of..."
Monster: "...5-string."

Seemed like marching orders.

So, in collaboration with the Maestro, a (scary) beast emerges: "HEADLESS MONSTER"

1. We are cutting off Orchid's head (gasp)
2. I've designed, prototyped, and am machining a new type of bridge & tuning system (?!)
3. Asymmetrical trapezoidal neck profile (?!)
4. Curly maple stacked laminate neck
5. Curly walnut, Honduras & Philippine (ribbon grain) mahogany, and ebony (accented) body
6. Stainless steel hardware throughout, including frets & bridge/tuning system
7. Pickup system under evaluation
8. Monster (very scary) inlay at the octave
9. I might just run out of fretwire at the 5th...

:)

Love the book matched body. It's only in the embryonic stages and it already needs no laquer finish. HUzzzzzaaaah!
Can't wait to hear this one.
