My moth senses are telling me one of these will be our theme this year.....wait....a Brite light....see ya later

Air Space - Chambers, Hollowed, and the like
Double neck - Self explanatory
Mothman - Inspired by
Minimalist/Moderne - Anywhere from super simple looking to retro-futuristic
All 1 wood - Fingerboard is the exception

Agree on the "inspired by" for the mothman, but the body should definitely resemble a moth or butterfly type shape/design.

This would make such a cool "V" errrrr Moth Bass

I put this up there have joking, half serious.

But if your offer stands, this would be a great way to get everybody to do the same design.

I'm in favor of shelving the "every body does the same design" for next year, and I'll make sure we raise it again

All in favor?
Aye Captain ... perhaps.
However...
(1)....of your, Earth... "years"?
That....is approximately the star -date I am scheduled for a reconnaissance mission to the planet..... "Lota'ar" :eyebrow::eyebrow: (beyond the Nammnebula)
(It's a long story) :cautious::oops::nailbiting:
But we shall see.
If I can finagle the time.... :dead::banghead::confused:
(And the Lota'arians 'allow' me safe passage back to this sector of the galaxy....)... :rollno::rollno::rollno:
Yeah.... I'd be down. :thumbsup: sure!

Out of these, the air space sounds the most attractive. It would be nice to end up with a playable/sellable bass that doesn't weigh 50 pounds or looks like a bug.
The all one wood thing.. if you exempt the fingerboard, it would be a build that many of us have already done... all mahogany.. all walnut etc.
The Mothman thing would be a relief, since I wouldn't feel compelled to enter. :D

I like the minimal approach also.

Trust me... these cats are scary enough... without psychedelics.
But if you think it would help build a positive interplanetary relationship... I'll see if I can't dig some up, for the journey.
Although, I've heard they prefer psilocybin.

:eyebrow:.... You'll see.... We ALL ........SHALL SEE!!!
