ehhhh.... why?

Maybe someone was a fan of the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Models? I seriously doubt cutting off one bout did anything noticeable to the sound, and may have made the high notes a tad more accessible. I think the only valid complaint here is that the resulting shape is not traditional anymore, and tradition seems to count here a LOT more than playability or sound.

I don't personally object to this modification. Basses IMO just don't get much uglier than Fenders.
