I love the scroll headstock on that one!

I also have a Lyle hollowbody that I need to peddle...30" scale with a Fenderish headstock, no electronics or nut.

There's something about those hollow and semi-hollow basses that really appeals to me.  They just look like a bass guitar ought to look.

That one isn't the best bass I have by a long way, but it's one of the most beautiful.  Matsumoku was doing some pretty fine wood and finish work back then.
