Does anyone know about this company? Unfortunately their photography is all closeups so it's hard to tell what their basses look like

They should change their name to "StandingBass," as you ain't sitting down with those

Yeah, a bit like Cort Curbows, which happen to be less expensive than these... Things

I can just see the ribbing at gigs from other bass players..."poor poor simplebass! Not too smart, forgot his lower horn again..."
Personally I kinda like the look- its the giant "simplebass" logo carved into the top I could do without- that and I only play 5 and 6 string basses.

what I see is a lot of work and hours spent on a bass that in the end is not ergonomic nor beautiful, according to the standard perception, and that therefore will definitely not appeal the players that play sit (me in the first place!).

Let's face it: they tried headless and did not work; then now this lower-horn-less... I will pass.
