It might be better to look at the graphics with all the hardware installed. The last one looks like it would be the most compromised.

It will be a cool bass, but, CT, I never pegged you as an explorer/dragon kinda guy. You learn something new everyday.

I like the winged dragon, #5 but I agree get rid of the ying yang.

A winged dragon is a European dragon, so putting it with an oriental Ying Yang makes no sense. With the ying yang you need the serpent wingless Chinese Dragon, Like in chinatown parades, which is as good luck symbol in China. The first dragon is similar but the head is all wrong for a Chinese Dragon.

The European Dragon was about death & destruction. You have to get your Dragon lore straight.

If you do the Chinese Dragon with ying yang, to me, makes the bass look like a cheap China import.

The European dragon is mystical, about power. Midieval

The third dragon comes off as modern comic book like- I dont like it

Watching Discovery channel is not totally worthless. Again if you do not get the themes correct you look ignorant. Also with the book series "Dragonology" being on the best seller's list as well as a featured Target toy line you guys should do your Dragon research. People will know it's wrong.
