My personal favorite headstock of all the basses I own. Hamer Impact bass circa 1991. It stands out just like the bass it is on. All the musicians have to check it out when I play it. One of the guitar players in the band I play in says it looks like it is moving at 400mph.
 
there's just no accounting for "taste"... is there?
no! but i might even consider something 'tasteless' :D

there are a lot of neat ideas so far. i have to say that i'm really favoring 2+2 to make the headstock small(er), but some of the more 'tasteless' designs seem to favor a larger headstock.

thanks to all! keep em' comin' if you've got something. :thumbsup:

after awhile = there aren't a lot of new ideas.
