Kiesel's lack of bass evolution

I just think they all look bad... I have nothing to say about their playability I just don't like their looks. The only bass I like is the original LB series. They all look clunky and awkward. No modern design in them what so ever. And being totally serious, the back/bottom part of the Vader bass looks like a pair of testicles if the bass is standing upright.

I have a Vader 5-string and I like it, but I do agree about the infamous Vader Balls.

They have a ton of options, but I would like to see some retro looking short and medium scale (32") basses to compete with Reverend, G&L, Schecter, etc...
Never grasped this concept. Will you buy one if/when Kiesel comes out with it, where you have not bought the bass you seem to want because it has not been built by the company you wish would build it??

If you would buy one from Kiesel, why not commission a custom build of one by them?

I own a custom Carvin B40. Great bass.
