Not that it matters all THAT much... but I am curious what people like as far as shapes of bass bodies go. I am curious about basses that are common... not Wishnewky's or whatever the hell those oddballs are. Myself... I like Spector shapes quite a bit. Opinions?
Warwick Streamers and Fortresses, Jazz basses, Lakland, Lakland hollowbody, F-bass, Wal, Fodera Monarch, Curbow, Ritter, Zon Legacy and hyperbass, MTD, and Musicman 'Rays are all nice lookin body shapes.
I hate singlecut, and since I play 5 stringers I do not think I will ever need it. I like fairly symetrical bodies (minus lower horn) and round ones as well. Not just the actual shape, but rounded curves all across the body, and subtlely tappered forms.
I love Ritters. Or the one I designed for my custom - The horns represent bass clefs and the upper has to go to the 12th fret. The fleur-de-lis abalone inlay is for my hometown, St. Louis.
On a related topic about Spector's body shapes... I brought my Spector to a music store a few weeks ago to try out a few amps, and one of the people working there refered to it as a "Warwick copy." I suppose Spector's basses and Warwick's Streamer basses have a similar body shape, but hasn't Spector been around quite a bit longer than Warwick? I was a bit offended by what he said; insulting me and my bass isn't really a smart thing to do if you're trying to sell me something.
As far as pure shape goes, I've always been partial to MTD's and the old tobias' (well, I guess the new ones would be included since they share the same shape oh well.)
