ROFLMFAO!!!!
It's a fugly piece of pretentious mind drizzle - a load of mince.
Get a P bass.

Roland Kaschube is a very talented and passionate luthier who is not only a bassist/luthier but also a well respected artist with a very individualistic vision. Stanley Clarke does own and play one of Rolands basses. I played one of Rolands bass that looks very similar to the one at The Bass Exchange unplugged, it balanced great, wasn't heavy or bulky and acoustically it resonated very well, the attention to detail is beyond what most would expect.
And for those who may be interested, Roland is also the publisher of the German based Bass magazine called Bass Professor

My point exactly -- tacky is in the eye of the beholder.
Some people like having the Last Supper or a complete Chinese New Year Dragon Parade inlaid in mother-of-pearl all up & down the necks of their Alembics or FBasses or whatnot.
I don't. I think it's tacky.
But I don't go bashing them online, just because they're not my cup of tea. My opinion is my opinion. If someone likes all that mother of pearl on their fretboard, well, more power to him/her.
You're absolutely right.
I guess i'm just not interested in whether or not people like sunburst over natural finishes, or Flying V shapes over Triple-Omega cuts, or fingerboards inlaid with 24 karat gold. I know which ones I like; don't care if anyone else likes them or not.
Functional things - things that actually affect sound, tone, output, playability, etc. (e.g. pickups, electronics, physicial industrial design decisions like many of Sheldon Dingwall's choices) are what interests me.
Unsubscribing.
The soundclips sound pretty good. If I had too much money I would get one, alas I don't have that problem.
You might need a cup for that tail piece. You know, like the one a baseball player might use. You definitely wouldn't be able to play that bass in one of those rough bars known for its fights, especially with your "business" hanging out like that.
I think the prototype is very pretty.
being an artist myself, this man has much respect and admiration from me.
i actually like it, kinda reminds me of an alembic, if it took steroids....
hahaha, the tail piece i completely dig tho, just my opinion i think it looks pretty cool

Too bad we can't have a thread about an unusual bass without it turning into an 'ugly bass' thread, which is of course against the rules.
