That's Chris Cardone with his custom order Oscar Prat bass. (pay your money and the luthier builds it) A guy who dresses like that is not going to get a regular bass haha!

Prat can make a beautiful bass as you can see with this backside pic.

First bass was an Ibanez RD707. Owned several, and still kinda want another for nostalgia even though I doubt I'd play it out. This headstock.....View attachment 2836436

Dang-it, now you're making me miss my old Ibanez PL5050....

Reminds me of the old Ibanez Roadstar headstock from the early 80's...

I'm digging my Alien Audio headstock.

Roscoe makes the coolest/best headstock available in their 3x2 in both function and style. I no longer own one but still my favorite. When I played one, longer Fender style headstocks felt bulky.

+1 to the Fender Starcaster / Ibanez Roadstar / Thunderbird family of headstocks.

Anyone post a photo of a Fender Performer headstock yet?

Edit: I now see it just above my post.

Yeah, I only read the thread title, which included "Compete for Beer", not the fine print that said only the (admittedly subjective) "winner" would get beer. Ppffft! I felt that I had competed and, therefore, deserved beer! Is that so wrong?

Never has a PL5050, but always wanted one back in the day. I've had several of the RD series over the years. It comes in cycle's. I'll find one and buy it jam same old metal in my garage for a couple of months, then sell it off. I'm still on the hunt for my old magenta rd707.

For some reason the Aria headstock is my favorite 2+2, even on a V bass. The hockey stick covers almost everything except Ric, which ties with Aria.

Still, hidebound and unimaginative? Maybe. Still...
