i really dig the warwick buzzard headstock, it just looks so right with that bass.

othere faves are MM, Rickenbacker, Tobias and Sadowsky.

I love the Nordy vJ5 headstock:

For J-Bass styles, I really like the headstock on the Devon Diamond J that I bought from Mr. Majestic. The 4 + 1 shape is really cool. The wenge string retainer is a nice touch.

For all other types of basses, I really like the way Roscoe blends the top woods with the lminates and reveals the laminates at the top.

But my favorite would still probably be the Alembic Crown headstocks with the inlaid silver and mother of pearl logo. Amazing craftsmanship and a really cool look.

Peace,

James

Love it man!

No PIX but you all know them.
Tobias/Gibson headstock. 3 + 2 with cutout.
I bought one because it was the coolest bass I'd ever seen.
Also, they sound great.

Hey C'thulhu...here's the bodys that they go with...you have to look around a little to find them.Next month I'll update the matching headstock picture...I've added four more since I took that pic.
I'm a matching headstock nut.

Cheers.

Yeah......That T-Bird and the Rick are there just to keep the rest of them honest....Think,highway clean up crew with two shotgun toten sheriffs watching over the convicts.

Cheers.

Now that's sad

So...do you know where I can get a good deal on a set tuners?

Cheers.

 

[Krügmeister]

I've always been partial to these, for many years. Don't know why, maybe it's the angled tuning keys??

My favorite too.. i also like the Peavey Headstocks as well

[Sufenta]

On a guitar...sure, but on a bass??? It just doesn't translate for me.

 

[aquateen]

you asked for favorite headstocks....what can I say? fender uses the same headstock on their guitars as they do on their basses. with all due respect, what's the difference?
