    I like it





    sorta...

    It could have been nice if they stopped carving about half way through. Notice the last fret is at an angle?

    Ugly? Why that's the most gorgeous bass I've ever seen, especially compared to this bass.

    You talking about a bass or placing a personnals ad :p

    Ah, I've seen some weird basses. The basses with no cut out above the neck are mighty weird...

    Like this:

    You mean the Orca? Orca the whale, geddit? Improved upper neck access at the expense of having the largest mammal on the planet on the end of your leather strap ;)

    That was mean. It should really have a warning before it, BG - Bassist Guidance - don not show to bass players of an unsuitable mental condition :D
