What's your favorite headstock?

I used to despise those G&L headstocks. They've grown on me. Still not one of my favs, but I wouldn't mind to have one in the stable. Looking at a L-2000 right now, in fact.

Thankfully the headstock tends to be the only thing people dislike about 'em!

They're great basses. They put a lot of care into their builds and thought into the designs it feels like. The L2000 is a interesting one because it's a hybrid active/passive bass in a different way than just having a bypass switch. With the K switch mod it's one versatile bass.

I'm weird because I REALLY like several different designs...
The Fender style

The SX Fish Hook design. MUCH nicer than the current Ursa design, although that one has grown on me too, particularly with the dixie cup mod.

And the in a 2x2 configuration, the Ibanez Soundgear headstock is a real winner for me!
