it's just a style thing - there's quite a few folks who make single cuts with a bulge up there  .

Though I must admit, it does not effect playability at all (since I play guitar as well, I sometimes shift my thumb over the neck when play out of habit). | It's just an esthetics thing, inspired by Anthony Jackson and Fodera. These Brubaker basses started out this way because of the unique neck joint (called a bolt-thru). Later basses have a more traditional design. |

Plays nice, but looks like an Ikea coffee table |

Having the top horn reach out farther takes care of both of these possible issues. If bass were the same scale length as guitar, I think more would have the shorter LP type design.

I fiugured that. Most of the IKEA coffee tables I've seen have been square with no exotic woods.
Scan furniture OTOH...  |
