I tend to be a traditionalist when it comes to bass designs. The Pbass is my instrument of choice. But I have to admit, I find this design very attractive, although definitely different and futuristic. Am I the only one that's been checking out this bass? Dare I say, "This is the bass BMW should have designed?

Not sure it would have been possible - BMW makes ugly-AF cars with a scant few exceptions. The Bongo is a cool design if polarizing. This one is about on par with that, so, actually, maybe they could have? I like it, but again, polarizing. Maybe just a touch 80s-feeling because it screams 'futuristic'.
