Early 70’s TV Script Fender P with nickel (tall stem) tuners. Just something so “right” to my eye.

[Lozz196]

Fender Precision (1957 onwards)

Musicman Stingray 4

I think the TRB headstock is quite Elegant 

[Doctor J]

The early Ibanez Soundgears are spot on.

[Cosmo Valdemar]

This. Comically oversized but what an absolute brute.

It's got to be BC Rich.

Was it inspired by gentlemen vegetables or lady front lumps?

Ok, so it's not a bass... but I absolutely adore the art-deco headstocks on the D'Angelico jazz boxes.

I guess these ones.

My favourites are Sire and the G&L eye gouger, because they inspire so much ire in people with way too much time on their hands.

I am not a fan of the sire, but I actually do like the G&L

Not gonna lie, I love this bass sooo much! I remember playing it at the London Bass Show and falling in love with it then and there, but sadly my pockets aren't deep enough for even a tuning peg these days. How's it getting on? Still playing beautifully I am sure!
