I don't have a strong feeling about the headstock either way myself. I just wanted a Macca spec bass and that is what I got. If I couldn't get a C64, I would have wanted a V63 because I prefer the "dot" position markers. I just wish Rick would make the lefty 4003's with the "shark fin" position markers reversed so they would be correct for a lefty.

If you really want it, do what you need to...Get it done!
I agree Rich. I didn't have any feelings about the headstock until I heard so many opinions here against it. I still don't care much, though I suppose a "normal" one would be cool. I just like having a bass like Paul's, which is why I bought it in the first place.
