[quote name='MythSte' post='1061977' date='Dec 17 2010, 08:10 PM']With all due respect Mr Cat, someones opinion on how it looks is wholly educated and justified! I wont buy a bass I dont like the looks of. Regardless of whether or not the functionality in some way accounts for it.[/quote]
+1 to that.
Functionality and sound are key, but if an instrument is unattractive then I wouldn't give it 2nd thought. There are lots of instruments out there. Find one that ticks all the boxes. Thankfully I find the 'odd' appearance of Dingwall's to be pretty cool!
