Gotoh GB640 LXN electric bass machine head

Overview of the Gotoh GB640 LXN electric bass machine head:

The Gotoh electric bass heads becomes the best choice for those who are looking for lightness without losing quality.

Bass guitars tend to have heavy headstocks and often suffer from "neck dive". This is a tendency of the neck to fall towards the floor, forcing the player to counterbalance its weight with the left hand.

This tendency became more pronounced with the advent of 5 and 6-string basses, causing discomfort for the bass player.

The Gotoh electric bass headstock belongs to the RES-O-LITE series, which uses the special "Duraluminium" injection.

As a result, the headstock is designed to relieve the weight of the headstock.

In addition, the GB640 bass headstock utilizes the Rock Solid mechanism, designed by Gotoh to transmit string movement with more force, while preserving tuning and providing a smooth string experience.
