    Since nobody notices the bass player until he screws up or does something inappropriate, i can understand anyones confusion over the floating guitar and disembodied voice. Phil is actually there.

    I have three Kiesel headless guitars and a Kiesel headless Vader 6 string (34” scale). At first the ergonomics were really tough to get used to, but after extending the strap button at the horn and moving a strap button to the back of the body it plays great. It’s a perfect bass to bring to gigs and has become my primary bass. I’ve been playing bass for over 35 years and the Kiesel basses rival anything I’ve played from Fender, Warwick, Ken Smith, Lakeland etc….

    Great looking bass. The details are immaculate in the video. I remember trying a few friends Carvin basses in the 80s and 90s. I was never as impressed with the basses as I was with their guitars. Seems that Keisel up'd their game on basses in recent years. You are correct on headless basses taking more abuse and not breaking strings as often as standard basses. The also stay in tune better.

So I was just wondering when the video would finally drop and heres my answer. Awesome video, Phil and awesome playing!
