Headless Bass
Headless is pretty comfortable: absolutely not top-heavy, shorter than a "normal bass" and easy tuning at the end of the body!
Go topless
"Topless" has a couple of advantages: The Headless Bass is the perfect travel companion - it's not that long, it fits compactly in a small case or bag, and you do not have to compromise on the sound. Top-heavy is not an issue. Experts even think, due to the missing head plate, there is more direct sound. And the dreaded "dead spots" do not exist here.
Your Headless can be normal scale, medium scale, short scale, or XXL scale. All depending on the sound you want, the playabiliy and the handling.
Compact.
It is compact, fits into a guitar case or bag.
Wood matters.
You can Imagine that the swamp ash body/maple neck bass on the left sound significanty crisper than the all-mahogany bass on the right which sounds warmer and darker.
If it is a fivestring you want, go for the XXL scale to get that thunderous groove!
