Your favorite unique bass shape

[JoeVictim]

I am all about tradtional shapes, but I feel like how many times is it going to be done. So TB, what is you favorite unique shape?

Mothman

But for practicality purposes I like a Fernandes Tremor

I like traditional bodies as well but I go for more of an organic feel. I designed this bass and have many designs on paper.

I always thought Traben basses looked cool but I'm not really into that sorta stuff ...

when I was a kid I thought the Mockingbird was the coolest thing ever. (I'm just a plain 'ole P/strat guy these days don't see that changing any time soon)

Jerzy Drozd basses and the Zon Vinny have the nicest bodies to me.

 

[MegaSwing]

Warwick Fortess and Corvette body styles look good to me.

 

[Tommygunn]

Gibson EB-2?

 

[malthumb]

I like Alembic's Balance K body style, with the Heart Omega cutout on the tail end

If I were ordering one, I'd probably also add the Omega cut to the headstock....

 

[FC Bass]

Also an Alembic design, this is my favorite:

Alembic Spoiler

 

[Hoover]

For inexplicable reasons I love the look of the Alembic triple-omega body shape. I don't think I'd ever seriously consider owning one, they look potentially uncomfortable. But aesthetically they flip my switch.

(Note, bass pictured is technically not an Alembic...but that's been beaten to death in other threads)

Tie between the BC Rich Virgin and ESP F.

Without hesitation the "Worker Bee" and "Groove Bee" are my 2 favorite non-standard body styles.


Here is my Worker Bee

and the most GAS inducing Groove Bee that Fred has built yet

i luv bc rich warlocks, they just fit me.

The look is a little unconventional, but I'll be danged it it isn't the most comfortable and one of the lightest basses I've ever played or owned.

I flipped when I saw that, as it looks a LOT like the bass I built for myself back in 1998 or so. (see avatar)

I does bear a a little resemblance.

My vote goes to the Warwick Dolphin.

I've been curious about the bass in your avatar. Could you post a larger picture?

I like the Warwick Thumb.
