I like the symmetry of the Gibson open book style.

no contest... but i'm biased

By definition, I idealize a straight string pull on a tilt-back headstock:

Neck diving?

No love for Pointy Carvin???

I always thought the Fender Urge I looked very, very cool. Traditional, but slimmer (Or is it just an optical illusion???)

And 'cause we can't have too many scrolls:

Is that so wrong?

no. of course not. i can understand how you interpreted that. i would have felt/thought/done the same thing. now i'm bummed, too. whenever i feel really, really bad...i go and open a mexican beer! i'm going to do that right now. and in honor of you...i will drink it! vamanos!

My Lindert has this to say. It's not my favorite headstock, but hey, we don't need to like it when it likes itself!

Wasn't that thread supposed to be "The Best Headstock Ever"? I can see some pics are really far from that...

How about a head stock in the style of Drozd with a munch out of it?

Fender-style headstocks are way too big to me! I prefer the Ibanez SR style headstocks! Especially that truss rod cover

Most people are just posting the headstock of their favorite bass.

i like the Lakland headstock best because it says Lakland on it.

Ampeg scrolls and string bass is what I was hoping to see!

I know it's goofy as all getout, but it's fun.

Yes, that is true. If I were in a fun clown band - it would fit right in.

And while on the topic of ideal basses for a clown band...
