Coolest jazz basses ever?

I have never owned one, and im not sure if i like the sound (though i think i probably would), but i love just looking at jazz basses. Mainly i have seen fenders and sadowsky's, but i want to see more. Post the coolest one you have seen here, whether it is yours, someone elses, you made it, whatever.

Slantier and pointier is exactly what I look for in an instrument.

I'm just messin' with ya, I've just never heard the technical terms slantier and pointer. Your right about the Modern Sadowsky models being cut a bit more "modernly". The body is smaller than a Fender and cut a bit more sharply. Good feeling body without being awkwardly small.

Its hard to convey sarcasm, humor, or other meanings on forums like this.
