I like the body shapes. The headstock on the previous one reminds me of the particularly nasty kung-fu move known as "monkey steals peach".
Those basses always make me think that someone left a Ric out in the sun too long, lol.
Here's one Terri Breeze just posted on her site 101 basses. It's a Framus.
Oddballs;
Warwick & Framus 6 string Vampyre. First 6 string Vampyre ever made.
Rare 1965 Airline Pocket Bass (Baton Rouge, La.).
Robin Ranger Series with gold letters on the headstocks.

It's made by Atlansia in Japan.

Love the Bison - the only bass to rival it is the Ibanez Black Eagle (?) w/the cut-out hs.
Two implementations of movable pickups:
Güller (made in Brazil)
Vox Humana (made in The Netherlands)

The top carving and vivid color on the above example of a Vampyre in my opinion shows that it is capable of a look that surpasses the "bass for metal" stereotype that people usually associate with the model.
But then again I also like that it can look quite sinister, like the sandblasted "dark lord":
I think this Norton has movable pickups (just guessing);Two implementations of movable pickups:
Güller (made in Brazil)

Thanks for the correct model name. I edited my post where i guessed it was an Evolution.That's the model... Electra MPC Outlaw, MPC standing for "Modular Powered Circuits".
[EDIT]-Some of the above may be guitars.

Let's see, as of 12/20/14 I have a Peavey T-40, and Ibanez Cimar, AND the allusive Shitheadecaster (though technically it's a guitar)
