I must admit I didn't know what they were until I googled, like Les Claypools bass.
They look ok I guess, I don't get on with the curl at the top. Actually looking again, that is the brown ones, but there is a picture of Les Claypool with a black one and that looks very nice.
I think they are some of the most beautiful basses going but then maybe thats because I haven't got a background in art and design? Not too keen on the pillowy guitar ones, but the long thin ones, the royas, raptors and jupiters, fantastic.
I think though both of the manufacturers have the advantage that at least they are a NAFF* design
