Not just avondon. I feel like I should buy that just to give it a proper burial...

There was someone on TB that did this I think. Put a fancy topped maple body on it, made it look pretty classy.

Yeah, me too. It solves the two things I hate about Steinbergers - the short body, and the headless neck. Not sure how I feel about the knobs on the bottom, but hey - it's an interesting idea.
Maybe if the knobs were on the front of the body, below the bridge, but recessed or angled or something? Hmmmmmmm...

in a 180° reversal from usual practice, someone took a perfectly good bass and made a lousy block of wood out of it.

Reminds me of the Bo Diddley Gretch.

the thing about the Bo Diddley is that it's wide enough to stay put. with something as long and narrow as the Grabber mod, it's going to roll along the axis of length because there isn't enough friction from the body on your tummy to balance the mass. a Steinberger gets away with it because it's short and lightweight.
