I can't believe that there's been two threads about basses with holes in them.... and what is the first result when i open Trade Me (the NZ version of Ebay) today......... what is happening?

It can't be... another hole in one.

It is becoming a trend. Just wait for the big names like Marcus or Victor to catch up on it.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill an Ernie Ball.......
I think it must be a result of the obsession with how much basses weight.
It is an effective way to get rid of some, more so than ultra light hardware I'd say.
On a different note I actually liked the holed J bass, well beside the side dot (holes) thing on the neck, this on the other hand truly looks horrible.

What do you get when you cross Buddy Guy with a drill press? 
Apparently these basses had a severe lack of neck dive from the factory

What kind of person does this? It's like buying a new car and tearing the doors off.
At first I thought this was just a few isolated incidents, but now I’m feeling like the manufacturers are going to sense a demand for it. Look for the Yamaha Voidjammer at NAMM 2020.
the thing about the holes all the way through basses is it shows a lack of finesse. you can lose a lot of material/weight without cutting through the front of the bass. jeez!
it's not so much an obsession as a necessity for some of us.
i agree and that j bass AND this one.

Yeah, but think of the savings on fuel !
Well, past a certain speed the air friction (a.k.a drag) will most likely increase fuel consumption.
Captain Buzzkill, signing off.
I blame it all on Talk-Bass, where the constant obsession with weight fear-mongering is in almost every thread...
