Classic, jurassic and tragic headstock design

[DerHoggz]

Soundgears are perfect. N neck dive on my 6 banger with it.

Well, I think the most awesome design ever made its the Tobias basses.

But, I also made by myself some designs too... here are some picks from my basses:

Heres my Crook Custom. Classic, in my opinion.

Man, Gumby is one mean tapping S.O.B.

Fender & Sadowsky

 

[Stempelloos]

This one is appealing to me because it's somewhere in between a Fender and a Musicman.

Classic & ornamental. The spade kinda refers to the ace of spades that you may find on spots where others leave it, or dealt to you from the rock 'n roll deck.

I love how compact the one on the left is! Do you have any shots of the full bass?

CLASSICS:

Music Man 3+1, Tobias, Rick, Alembic Crown, Ken Smith Crown, Warwick "Gumby"

JURASSIC:

Fender Tele, Alembic Cone

TRAGIC: To the point that I would not buy the bass because of it.

Kubicki, Danelectro, BC Rich, Eshenbaugh, Elrick "Slab"

TOO NEW TO BE CLASSIC, BUT SWEET, NONETHELESS

MTD, Jerzy Drozd, Hanewinckel, Brubaker

Just my opinion......

Peace,

James

Your guess is as good as mine as to which of the available options is correct for this one.

For some reason, I LOVE the Eshembaugh headstock

Absolutely can't stand the Linc Luthier headstocks

It's one of those things where, at first, you don't think it'll ever look "good", but one day, it just starts working for you.

Yes, I am prejudiced, but I still think it to be one of the classics of all time:

I agree.

The way the lines mirror the subtle contours of the carved body (esp. on an LG) really unifies the design.

 

[rapturebass]

My favorites are probably Warwick, Musicman, Gibson, Schecter and Ibanez ATK.

The one that makes me puke:

Sorry Ibanez guys.

Especially after you play one...

I've had a few basses with headstocks I wasn't initially crazy about (Elrick NJS, Linc Luthier, Eshenbaugh) but after owning them I wouldn't change a thing.


The bass in the middle was ordred with an extended headstock. I'm the second owner...

This one grew on me too...

Musicman and Fender (Jazz, Precision) are two of the nicest designs IMO. Other ones I like are:

Two of the ugliest of all time:

 

[barroso]

I realize I am pretty much a lover of classic design.
My favourite are:
Fender, MusicMan (3+1 Stingray), Danelectro coke-bottle and Spector.
All 4 strings.

 

[Foreman_]

This is one of my favorites!

I try to look at the instrument as a whole. The Gumby headstocks arent for me, but they just look right with a Rickenbacker or a Hofner or something along those lines...

I personally think the Fenders look good, and I love the MusicMan heads, especially the Bongo. I think it fits perfectly with the body, and I lust after a Bongo 5.

As for strange headstocks, these two get the nod from me (sorry if anyone already posted, Im at work and they block a lot of photo sites and such). The first is the Modulus Buzzard, and the second is some wierd art school grad project some guy built. Its supposed to be a "slide bass." I dunno if its even playable, but it looks cool/strange/bad/weird.

(rurally perfect for my taste).
