Slotted headstocks on basses

[the101er]

Are there basses that use slotted headstocks? It's such a beautiful feature but doesn't seem to be present on the bass?

Could it work? Or would the extra tension just rip them off?

Er...I think this thread has some reason

Will :smoke:

My friends dad has one. I saw it hanging on his wall last time I was over his house.

Like the ones found on classical acoustic guitars.

I've been drawing some basses with this sort of headstock and the look beautiful

Is there any reason, other than looks?

very good break angle over the nut, since the tuner is recessed so far.

They are offensive to me, such is the foul nature of their looks.
