Reccomendations on Weirdest/Unique basses

[Low End Scum]

Howdy yall!
Just sold my '05 Ric on the verb and got the itch for something weird.

I've got:
Dingwall NG3
'77 4001 Ric
'62 AVRI Jazz
'11 AMStand Jazz

Been thinking Ovation Magnum I or II, Roland G77, or something else. I have about 2k to drop and a hankering for something not covered by what I have. Are DROCs by Dingwall different than NG3's?

How about a cool shortscale? Maybe you could score a used Serek for $2500 or so?

I'm not super in love with shortscales but I'm admittedly also not familiar with Serek. Most what I've seen though seemed to be pretty in the same vein as a boutique Fender but I could be totally ignorant

Magnum gets my vote every day and twice on Sundays. Stellar build, versatile, awkward in a good way.

 

[Killing Floor]

Burns Bison.

Anything Atlansia makes.

 

[Low End Scum]

Thanks folks, got some googling to do tonight then it seems

 

[Hues]

Ever hear of Musicvox

Basslab, but be prepared to wait for a while to get one. There is one on eBay, but, if you want new, you have to go custom.

Alien audio constellation!
But the Ovation Magnum is a good choice, I love the 1 due to the stereo capabilities like a Ric

 

[Flatwound]

How about a Bender Collision?

Off the top of my head, Verso. In your price range, but currently only available on custom order. Bass of the Week: Verso Musical Instruments Gravis Bass Guitar

Ovation Magnum, Burns Bison, or a mid-'60s Epiphone Embassy with the correct headstock.

Hell yeah, I can spend your money; that's not even a question.

Yes, my first thought was Atlansia.

 

[Erik Turkman]

It’s not a new design, but the Gibson RD Artist was kind of weird: unique body shape, electronics by Moog, and a slightly longer than usual scale. They are around on the used market.

The Johnny Cash headstock!

How about something completely different? Check out the Ibanez Ashula. 7-string, half-fretted, half-fretless.
