It depends on the bass: whatever is "in character" for the particular model looks best to me.

 

[bassman74]

Yeah, you are right, Which one looks better on a fender type headstock.

 

[bassman74]

Specially for a modern Style, active fender Look a lyke jazz bass

The lollipops are much more rare; but personally I prefer the look of the clover-style.

 

[the yeti]

^might be why they're rare. or do we like the clovers because of conditioning...

 

[pasta4lnch]

or do we like the clovers because of conditioning...

could very well be - either way I like 'em butter

 

[funk generator]

if your going for a vintage vibe, i like the lollipops if not id go clover.

 

[carlos840]

I have both and i think the lollipops look cooler!

Actually, thinking about it i think it might be a matching headstock thing!
The lollipops on an oli white with matching headstock, or a black and black bass look super cool!

 

[Engine207]

Lollipops were on '66 Fenders, and I hatched in '66...so lollipops all the way!!

 

[Darkstrike]

Clovers are definitely cooler, IMHO.

Liking the lollipops. A lot.

IN addition to looking great on Fender-y basses with 60s pickup spacing and bound necks (with either dots or blocks), the lollipops look better IMO on basses with some sort of rounded shape in either the bridge or the pickguard. For example, a Lakland with lollipops and a Delano Xtender in the MM position (no guard) would look fantastic. Frankly, with their bridge, I'm not certain why Lakland uses anything else.

Personally, I like the clovers. The lollipops are nice on some vintagey basses, and Alleva c. seems to make them work well - though I have an issue the the A-C headstock.

Both are better than those stupid Y-tuners on anything Fendery.

Dunno how good the lollipops would look on a 4+1 headstock, though...

 

[SlingBass4]

Lollipops (standards) for my babies! Interestingly enough...I get questions and compliments all the time

 

[SBassman]

Neither.

 

[MrLenny1]

I'm with SBassman. Don't like either lollipop or clover leaf.

 

[Dadagoboi]

It's great to have the choice, which one I like depends on the bass.

The tuner side of this headstock was trimmed 1/4 inch to get more stem showing. Sort of a vintage reverse look.
