Off topic, but that looks like a really cool gig to play. Looks like something straight out of a movie.

There are probably dozens of reasons, but I can speak for myself and say it's the simplicity and fat neck. For me, these have become two of the most important factors in a bass.

I actually know nothing about them other then I can't stand the way they look. They look completely ridiculous.

It wouldn't bother me...until I noticed it for the first time. Then, every time I look at it, that's all I'd see. Yes, I'd return it and get another.

I'd like to join the club. Here's my BB 300. I love all my basses, but this one reminds my favorite.
