Purple Mamba
Purple Mamba (2008) is obviously unusual, even for a headless 6-string bass. Although it has a beautiful, clean tone, it doesn’t get played enough, mostly due to its weight- it’s made of a very dense wood, and its hardware is massive and concentrated at the bottom of the bass, making it rather unbalanced as well.
