Thanks guys!

I call it my Ric-o-dyne =)

I cut the top kind lof like an aerodyne jazz, you can see it better in this pic.

very, very nice.

Not exactly a new body style, but you don't see too many basses like mine:

I have a custom body style designed by me and was/am planning on having JC build it. Could you PM me with an idea of what this cost you? Thanks Monkeyhaiku.

tried to search the topic, but didn't find much-
I'd like to see body shapes designed by members here.

If you've got a bass or a concept for a style/shape that is uniquely your own I'd really like to see them.
thanks

I've done it several times, 'scept then I try to sell them.

Same here! If I'd spent more time practicing and less shopping I might be good by now =) Oh well, shopping's fun too, as is creating and inventing so it's all good...

Nice looking stuff PasdaBeer, classy.

I designed my own body shape but it took a lot of pizza, beer and cupcakes to finish.
