Every other headless guitar/bass at that NAMM show is garbage. The Duke is the worst, firewood at best.

I really want to buy a Steinberger bass. It was definitely the most innovative design for guitars and basses of the last century.

"Brianberger", cheap assholes...note that in these years the unfair competition, copycat style, came from japanese producers in those years, nowadays comes from the chinese...

I wonder if the two employees were the Asian women in the finishing department.

[RaveSnoreThrong]

nope. If you look at the photo with Ned and Ed (almost rhymes) you'd see that even back then Ed was on the portly side.

Isn't that guy at 1:16 Ed Roman???

[dualsubstance]

Yes, that's a good point.
