Worthless arrangement of bald pieces (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despicable

'worthless' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'arrangement of bald pieces' is the wordplay.
'arrangement of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bald'+'pieces'='baldpieces'
'baldpieces' is an anagram of 'DESPICABLE'.

(Other definitions for despicable that I've seen before include "rotten" , "bum" , "Mean" , "Vile" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
