I really like the Fender-esque style of this bass! As much as I like basses with natural finish and visible wood figuring, I think this new Pachyderm bass looks incredible.

Wow, that really does look great. Sleak and classy. I haven't liked any of his previous basses, but I like that.

That IS a cool bass.
I bet he rides to the shows on this from the looks of his attire.

That's a really cool-looking bass...but he really should've got one the same colour as that awesome hat!
I admit I don't really know anything about him, but he's certainly got an eccentric vibe about him.

The headstock design is more functional than aesthetic. There is no need to horse with expensive instrument wall hangers when you can simply hook your bass to any convenient coat hanger, nail, or tree branch.
I think it looks like a knitting needle, but for some reason I like it.
Overlooking his playing and his instrument, Les has a finely tuned sense of fashion too!
Looks like something Prince would have played.
It probably doesn't sound like a p bass. His tone is more rear humbucker. I'm guessing this is just a thicker version of that tone.
