Re: RIVERHEAD GUITAR BY HEADWAY

I just bought a Riverhead headless bass off ebay for AUD425. Details as as below
RIVERHEAD HEADLESS BASS GUITAR
STEINBERGER CLONE
MADE BY HEADWAY GUITARS JAPAN - PROBABLY 1982/83
A Mini Monster of a Bass.
This great little headless bass was the first of the Steinberger clones I think. Made in Japan by Headway guitars about 1982. Now quite rare and sought after.
A very versatile and light bass, with twin humbuckers, and a full 24 fret scale. It takes normal strings, not the double ball Steinberger strings, which will save a lot when you need to replace them. Plays very well.
If you are looking for a lightweight bass with heavyweight performance, this is ideal. Would also make a good travelling bass and will probably fit in a small guitar case.
Specifications:
Pickups
2 humbuckers
Hardware
Black
Scale
33.5" long scale
Frets
24 - 2 octaves
Neck Joint
Set
Neck Material
Wood
Fingerboard
Probably rosewood
Body Material
Wood
Finish
Black
Controls
Separate volume for each pickup and a tone control.
Machine heads
Steinberger style at bridge
Made in Japan
Re: RIVERHEAD GUITAR BY HEADWAY
I unloaded a Headway Unicorn bass just before I moved to Australia. Now I deeply regret it. Years ago, I also owned one of the Riverhead's with the asymmetrical 2/2 headstock and an aftermarket active system in it that was the best ever. I traded it and, well, deep regrets. It played better than anything I've had since.
If you know of anyone selling any of these basses in Australia, by all means let me know. I'm even willing to pay a finders fee if I hook up with one of these in good nick. Rob dualsubstance@hotmail.com

I own a river head bass same model. I bought in 1985. Mine is metalic red. Still jammin. Serial numbers what is the guitar worth?
