When I look at it, all I wish is that the upper horn wasn't so large. Everything else looks superb. Count this as a howl of discontent though :lol:

it's sort of become the fashion for instruments with Low B to have the top horn coupling
some will blame Fodera and Jackson for this.

Yes, there's a definite fashion element to it. They often also have lots of laminates with ebony veneers between each. Looks amazing, but I can't see it doing any tonal or structural good. Bass players are such fashion whores ;)

I would be inclined to make the un-horn area visually less vast if it was up to me. Owner's call though.

Hey!

I'm the owner of this bass!

It's got frets now. I might be looking to sell it too.
