What do you want in a bass ?

[Matthew Heintz]

Other than aesthetics, is there a reason that we don't see more open peg boxes? It seems like the ease of string changes and reduced scroll-weight would be particularly nice for basses with extensions. In any case, I'd add that to my list of "features" that I'd want in a bass (for whatever that's worth).

It makes the scroll really weak and prone to breakage. That's why you don't see that feature more often.

Fair enough. Thanks.
