That's a new headstock. RT chopped the sides and top off and turned it into an Alembic shape.

...and wear a stylish hat.do not trust any bass player that forms his own band with less than 3 guitarists, harp, violin and sax...also must play a six string bass
Mavuser, your above link went to Facebook toxic videos. Can you relink it? Need to see Starfires!!!
I may be wrong, but I think that when the bass became Big Brown, it had the original rosewood fingerboard with the dot inlays. Later, it got some more work done and the fingerboard was replaced with ebony with the big inlays. I kind of like the tone with the first fingerboard better, although it's hard to tell what changes caused what differences in tone because there were also changes in amplification, etc.Is that a new neck on there? Like, did Alembic remove the Guild neck and put on their own so that only the body is Guild?
I think his tone is great with the Starfire both pre and post Alembic. I haven't listened enough to the other basses to know about them.
