Your favorite unique bass shape

I like the 'tear drop' design. I saw a Vox on the net the other day. I think that design is really cool-looking. Close up though, I don't like the look of how the controls are arrayed on the bass so much. I think they could be redesigned better.
However, from a distance, it looks extremely unique. I wish one of the manufacturers would bring out a new model.

Iceman
Rick's

BC Rich warlock, virgin, and mockingbird

I always thought these were sexy as all hell with the gold hardware and all but alas, I am a bassist and I doubt a jackson RR5 bass will ever exist... bummer

Does anything that's not a Fender or clone thereof count as "unusual?" There are some gorgeous basses in this thread but I wouldn't have thought to put a Bongo or something into it.
Anyway, this is all in the realm of pure fantasy for me, but stuff I've seen that I just thought, "Wow, that LOOKS cool..."
The Lace Helix...
Or some of the basses from Atlantsia in Japan...

Ibanez Iceman; Ibanez Explorer/Destroyer; 80's Washburn B-20; 80's Ibanez RD-707, RD 727; Jackson RR bass (few made); new Carvin SR4000
You serious dude?! If you had a pic you'd be my hero dude, always dreamed of those, but thought I'd have to go custom to actually see one!
For the record, I think it is sexy as hell. But it looks like it is screaming to be a multi-scale bass with a staggered bridge and inverted headstock.
I always loved the old Guild B301s and B302s

My upcoming fan fret sixer from ACG will have an interesting shape.
For those that know Alan's designs it's a double cut Skelf "R type" with the upper horn from the Recurve.

I also like the iceman a lot.
Cool. Never seen an Iceman bass except as a body shape on Warmoth's site; the only Ibby basses in stores around here are all Soundgear types. Who is that, by the way?
