Headway Riverhead

Pearl White, contoured body- heavily rounded,top horn is longer than the bottom, almost a Silvertone shaped headstock, Gotoh tuners, active K&M pick-ups 2 volume and 1 tone with 2 other knobs that seem to add a lot of burn with distortion, neck through with "Dual Rocker" tremelo

Play classic rock-80's metal-southern rock through a Crate Power Block and a Flextone 2X12. with everything on the guitar maxed out it has some hiss but if you have a volume foot switch it'll shred some serious metal.

Bought used set up myself, easy setup, plays great

Never Gig Without A Back-up Kids

Very dependable guitar have had to tighten up 1 pot

none
It is very hard to get info on thsi guitar

I am ashamed of the amount of gear I have and the wall of shame ( rows of guitars ) I have amassed over the last 35 years this one is one of 6 that I gig with
see it @ www.prideoftexasband.com

Black painted timber with laminated brown (rosewood?)fretboard. 25 frets.. Insignia is RIverhead Products of Headway and has a serial number under the tuning keys at the rear. Did I say headless? I assume they all are. I also dont know anything about the company and have never seen another. Controls? - Heaps. Three double knobs and a three way switch. Awesome bins. Even the expert and the instrument warehouse/fixit/retail outlet could not get what the controls could be for. He ran out of ideas. Active electronics for extra touch and tone control.

We do Folk and Country and Rock, but would suit many other forms.
Using a Behringer 60w, which does well but is too small wiht only 1 x 12 inch. Full variations in sounds.

Well set up, Light, good action, rarely goes out of tune, but keys smooth anyway. Nothong lose on it or buzzy sounds. Not the flashest looking bit of kit except for quicky headless feature.

This Bass will stand up, but you need to keep the 9v batteries spare, otherwise the sound can start to cut out. But this is normal I would say. Solid finish although mine is a little scratched by the belt buckle.

Went to the repairs once when I did not know the battery was at fault and the guy said there were no parts and did not know anything about the guitar. This one was a hand-me-down.

Overall a good little performer with nice tonal touch, but I have a feeling the Bass was not one of the most expensive on the market when new. My overall rating is basd in the middle part of the market

off white/pearl colour. came with a case custom case.

sounds amazing. i play everything from punk to reggae on it.

cant find the company!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone know anything about these bases? i bought one used like 8 years ago and would like to find out more about it. any help would be greatly appreciated

Covered above...

Plays VERY well for all situations.

Wonderful "light" action...Excellent fit, mine was old and abused, so the finish was iffy. (No fault of the bass)

I'm almost convinced you could run over it on the way to your gig and still have no worries...this thing's a tank!

Who the heck are they? Where's it from?!

Again, no fault of the bass...I bought it at a pawn shop.

New to Bass, but I've had pro friends offer me over $600 for it...it plays THAT well.

If I ever lost it...someone would be hurting :)

Beautiful shape, excellent sound and build, I only added straplocks.

PLEASE contact me if you have more info on these...

I have no idea when or where it was made. It has 22 frets with a laminated top. It has two volume and one tone control with a three way switch. The pickup configuration is H/H with K&M pickups the electronics are passive.It is made out of wood and is a solid one piece body. It is finished in a dark metallic brown with the riverhead insigniere printed on it. The body style is very strange and doesn't have a name. It has floating tremolo (Dual Rocker) with little tunnng thingies. It Has Gotoh Tuners With a String Lock Down Thing. The Neck Is Thin. It Came With A Hard Case.

It Suits My Music Style Fine Because I Play Mainly Punk. I Use A Jade Storm 90 (90 Watt) Amp With No Effects. Its Noisey Whens Its Turned Up. It Has A Full Sound When The Switch Is Set To Rhythm And Bright Sound When The Switch Is Set To Treble. The Only Dislikes I Have About The Guitar Is When To Take Your Fingers Off The Strings It Gets This Electric Buzzing Noise Happening.

The Only Flaws Were It Had a fine set of strings (9's)

I Would Use It At A Gig Without Backup Because The Only Thing That Has Ever Gone Wrong With It Is The Strings Lost Tone
