Need ideas for this headstock

[artechoke]

Go to a scrapyard and get an old hood emblem. Alternately, cut an old license plate into the shape of the headstock, or use it as a truss rod cover.

Some version of the old 50s spaghetti Fender logo may look good. It's technically a copy of a '57 p.

Put like "hamburger" or "french onion soup" or "torta" in fender script

Whatever your favorite food is really would be a nice touch

I'm thinking of some sort of cool celtic knot pattern thingie for the 30" conversion necks I jut got. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

The Rothko site is awesome. Thanks RadioRob.

My $0.02. Paint the headstock in a colour that does NOT match the body and invent your own logo.

I did this recently when I assembled my 25.5" mini bass, dubbed the Funkier Turkeybasster.

That bass looks so wrong that its just right

It looks like a ton of editing happened in here...

 

[kenneffdupriest]

just don't make it pointy

Correct answer in most cases in life is 'draw a penis on it'..

It's an SX p-bass that a friend of mine de-fretted and stripped down. In the process the SX logo was removed. I am fine with that, but I don't like it now being just plain. Any ideas on what to add or do with it? I don't want fender stickers.

Match it to the body then give it a name (on a sticker).

How about this…

Get some headstock ideas from a tatoo parlor.

…plus this…

…and what with the bird-beak-like cut of the headstock, give it a design that goes along with the contour. 1st column-top would work if inverted, as would 2nd column-2nd and 3rd down, but the abstract/native-looking one at the bottom of the 3rd column would fill most of the headstock's space nicely.

Consider having it reshaped. I've had this neck for years, on many different bodies that have come and gone. It's a Warmoth. The Pensa-like headstock shape works well for me just on its own, without any further adornment. It's one possibility.

I fear this story does not end happily.

The pickups and wiring/ pots are not SX. I put fender original 60s p-bass pickups in it. I haven't done anything with the body.

Hehehe - yeah, you want people to do a double take, put the old original "Lionel" logo on the bass! That would look cool!
