    Well, it's not headless, which makes the neck longer and which is why they had to add that small top horn to get it to balance. But it is certainly 'very inspired by'.

    From what i understand, it got a quite a good reception from the player group, but the ICC and the BCCI in particular were quick to ban it from the test an ODI arena.

    The bowler runs up the the crease and throws, the ball looks like its going wide... but bounces back and... and... and... it's a bass solo!

    Some searching uncovers that the 20/20 was developed in conjunction with Ned Steinberger (at least that's what it said on the adverts), so not simply a rip-off.

    Ned Steinberger has had a more fruitful collaboration with Emmett Chapman to develop the NS/Stick.

    As an aging and no longer fast bowler who also plays bass I resemble that remark

    Many years ago I had a short bass solo in Proud Mary, one night the bastrads walked off stage one by one so I kept going figuring that would come back shortly, 10 minutes later they were leaning against the wall out front with a beer in their hands.

    Not happy Jan ( the audience got the joke though )

    Was on my VI though so I had plenty of scope to have fun

    From the era when Ned had sold the company, and was selling his soul to anyone with an open chequebook. It's kind of funny because 10 years ago when "F" & "G" bought up all their competitors, it was "G" who bought Steinberger.

    I love the slogan ‘Try it if you dare!’ lol. It’s nearly as cool as a keyboard guitar



    This video is actually cool
