Active Band Man Chats - Heads -

Today's theme is heads (guitar and bass)!

Heads ... I'm not really interested lol

I know you are not interested, but I just got released from the hospital after a brain surgery, so I was worried about my "head".
[See Kizuhiko's blog for details]

What? Is that relevant? (Lol)

Anyway, let's talk about heads! Once again, the head is the tip of the guitar / bass, which usually has pegs for tuning.

That’s right…

Hey, you also have a normal bass with a head lol. You have some interest! I like quirky heads

Quirky ... for heads also? Lol

You said "also" ~ lol First of all, the matching head!

I see. Matching heads are cool, aren't they?

It's a head that has the same color as the body. The Tesco Spectrum 5, which I'm currently using, also has a matching head.

Just because it has a matching head, the price is a little expensive.

Yup! I also like reverse heads.

Reverse heads?

I say it is a right-handed body with a left-handed neck. I used to have a reverse head Stratocaster, which was pretty good. With a Stratocaster reverse head, the distance from the nut on the 6th string to the peg is longer, right?

Right.

On the contrary, the distance on the first string becomes shorter, so I think that the tension of the lower strings became harder and the tension of the higher strings becomes loose, and I like that feeling.

Hmm, I’ve never thought that way. Then is that the same for bass? I want to compare them. But isn't the reverse head guitar or bass a little difficult to tune? I’m not just used to it.

Well, maybe you need to get used to it. By the way, Jimi Hendrix was playing a right-handed guitar left-handed, so it looked like a reverse head.

I think the reverse head was created to imitate the Jimi Hendrix style. By the way, you can judge if it is a vintage by seeing the head, right? Whether it is a large head, or when the brand logo was printed.

Yeah, you may be able to know the age. Perhaps I like strange heads, and that’s why I had a brain illness...?

There are no such statistics!

That's right lol. And! We also like headless instruments!

That's right. In that sense, it's also a type of head...

Headless instruments may be the most unique... By the way! We talked about the good points of headless instruments in the previous column, so please read it!
