What could be the single coolest bass I've ever seen

thats the coolest bass i have ever seen!

 

Doesn't look special to me. It's a neck-through with some nice wood, styled the same as a number of other basses. The metal switchplate is unusual.

But if it does it for YOU, that's what matters.

 

I think what makes this special is the Wal electronics in a Carl Thompson design...
Just guessing though

 

It's a shame to see Wal electronics there, they should be in a Wal bass or at least a Fodera!

 

I want it sooo bad... It has the CT looks and the Wal sound... But it's the absolute last thing I need right now (another fretted four string). It's also across a very big ocean. Rats.

 

The bass in question for those like me that prefer pics over links!

 

If my count is correct, you've got good access to 21 frets. For some, that won't do, and though I prefer a 24-fret design, I think I could deal w/ not using the last three frets for that bass. I actually really like the simple design coupled w/ the fantastic electronics. I'd like to see a shot of the control cavity / wiring scheme, though.

 

I agree. I don't like huge headstocks either, that thing looks like a Kayak paddle to me

 

That's not a kayak paddle.

This is a kayak paddle!
