What design of headstock would look asthetically pleasing on a bass with a body of this shape:

Iknow this isnt a bass pictured, but this is the basic shape I'm modeling. I'm open to 4L or 2L/2R designs.

I'm not sure how crazy I am about Tom's headstock design

I'd go with a 2+2 design that mimics the body shape.

I was going to say the same thing as Douglas did, Just scale down the body and reverse the "taper"
