There's an old bass session player's trick of putting a couple of "G" clamps on the head of a bass to improve sustain and resonance a little.
Sounds strange, but it makes a noticeable difference, though the downside is it destroys the balance of the instrument.
Same principal as different headstock sizes, though - more material, better vibrations.
