I've seen that custom 8-string Ricky before. While I like the headstock, I think it is uneccesarily long and should be shortened a bit.

These Headstocks are without a doubt the funkiest, Ugliest, coolest, craziest production pieces I have ever seen!

Ronn I like the walnut wings too but I am stuck on making one of these just like the one Chris S. has. Not because it 's his but because I love the simplicity of the solid white color W/ black accents and it will make a perfect bookend match for my 5 string Jetglo!

We have Gotta come up with a new name for this headstock. I have heard "Frogs Foot", "Potato Head" how about an
"Idaho Wiggely" or "Two Monkeys Fu*&ing a Football" or "Water Head" or "The Wave" or "?"

"The Amoeba" Yeah that's good!
Staying with the potato thing how about

"The Idaho Worm"

"Wiggely Spud"

"The Squirmin Worm Head" or "Heads" for the band name? we still don't have a name?

Wait let me take another hit..................

Cough Cough............

Eeerr....................

"Monkey in the Wrench"

"Mister Potato Heads Wet Dream" Hey another name for the band!


Back to reality. I gotta go get some sleep, I got tomorrow off and I got a lot a **** to do! Leaves are turning up here in the north country won't be buying basses for a while. I got a Fuel Oil tank in the house and in the Garage/Barn to try and keep full this winter, and it looks like that will be a financial task this year!
