Eastwood has some basses that look considerably more like the Ampegs. Hmm.. I like those too!

These Switch basses were molded in one piece, as in the body and neck. I don't quite know what it is, but a plastic type material. The 3 indentations were finger slots, assuming you're playing the bass with your fingers- you'd pluck the strings with your index finger and pop the rest in the holes. lol - a little like a bowling ball.
Sounds to me more like something you'd find under the counter at your local adult "book" store.
I guess you could use the indentations as a kind of thumb rest / positioner, but I bet it was just to try to look "cool".
This Bunker is up on eBay right now, fairly cheap still, kinda funky:
I don't like the way the humbucker poles are off, though.

I use to have one of these. Nice bass actually. Fleishman
I have one of those, very cool, but the neck has "sproinged" beyond what the truss rod can handle and needs a reset.

Tom Holmes Jupiter Thunderbird.
A Sitarenbacker? Rickensitar? I give up...
Mercy Bass.
3D printed Hive bass.
Pedulla double neck.
A Steampunk J.
Bidding on one of those on eBay right now, though mine won't be pink.
(What is it with pink basses, anyway? I like the kind of salmon-orangey-pink coral "surf" color, especially when paired with seafoam green, but outright pink just don't work for me.)I've never heard someone call a yellow bass Pink, before. My first, first today.Bidding on one of those on eBay right now, though mine won't be pink.
Just put up a new monitor here at work, the old one gave up the "magic smoke" this morning - sure looks pink(ish) to me, maybe this thing's not quite right (well, could just be me, already know I'm not quite right).I've never heard someone call a yellow bass Pink, before. My first, first today.
Those 3D printed ones are crazy cool, wonder what they sound like - does the plastic affect the tone? Maybe there's a wood core underneath the bridge?
Whatever that is, it looks really cool. I love retro-tech. Vacuum tube radios and 1940s/50s test equipment...

Some serious win in this thread that I didn't see in the "weird basses" thread.
Separated at birth? Or just cuzzins...
Prestige Wylde (came in 4 & 5 strings)

Normally I like matching bass / guitar, such as for example Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbirds. I LOVE this Bass King, but Kay's guitar iteration just doesn't look right. Maybe it's the rustic patina on this particular Bass King I find so alluring.
One of my all time faves... a mystery bass.
