Should I build it?

This is a bass design I drew up and am thinking about building. The thing is, I like it, sometimes alot, but I'm not sure I love it, if you know what I mean. And considering how much work it'll take me to make it, I think I may need to love it. So, I thought I'd post here looking for others' opinions. Any comments are appreciated.

My opinion: I like the horn shapes. They remind me of something, but don't know what. I think the waist may be a little narrow, but if I thicken it up, I don't like the curve on the top horn as much. And I had a hard time deciding where to break symmetry on the bottom of the bass. If I look at just the lower half, I don't like it as much as when I look at the whole magilla.

Whadda you think?

 

Oh, and it'll have a headstock. I just haven't drawn one up yet.

 

There're a lot of different influences in there (nobody mentioned Jerzy Drozd or Ritter, but they're in there, too.) I was shooting for anything other than another Jazz bass (I own a Jazz, so I'm not dissing them.) And I didn't want to steal shapes from anything. The influences are recognizable, but I didn't use any basses for reference. I just drew out what I thought was a good shape. If anyone wanted to be harsh, the horns are probably most influenced by a canoe paddle.

Other follow-ups:

It won't be purple, that was just the first random color I clicked when rendering the thing here. It'll be natural, for ease of finishing as much as anything else. I haven't selected the wood yet, but two things will factor into my decision-making there: 1) No maple. I'm tired of figured maple tops. 2) It'll be fretless, and I'll want a pretty woody sound. That might push me in the Warwickified bubinga/wenge combination, though since I'm already moving off the beaten path, I may seek out some less common tonewoods.

The top horn may be a bit long, but not terribly so. It's just a hair into the 12th fret (that's the line on the neck.) I moved it out there to combat the neck dive I expect to have with such a small body.

You'll note there's about three inches behind the bridge, too. That's to give it a little back weight, and because I'm hoping to enhance body resonance by putting more wood on the other side of the bridge.

This one will be flat, since it's my first build. The next one will be carved. I love the feel of Spectors.

I'll spend some time tweaking the shape a bit more and read any additional comments to see if there's something that comes out of it. Otherwise, I'm going to make a 3/4" MDF template and see if I like the balance and positioning.
