Frustratingly I can't post photos, but here's a link to my suggestion:

My photo is of a green one. Search Google images for 'Kawai Concert Bass' and protect your eyes

Here's another one, with which you should seek immediate psychiatric help, if you like it in any way...

IIRC that particular bass actually belongs to a member here.

While it's possible to have a laugh poking fun at what we might consider the less attractive instruments, I think actually singling out a particular individual's bass for abuse is a bit too far...

I have to say, regardless of the challenging aesthetics, if someone can play this beast well, all power to their elbow and can get away with however it looks!

I don't like it, and find it overtly coffee table style, which is not me, BUT if that is after one's taste, I think it at least is rather balanced designwise, and at peace with itself when held vertically. It does get a bit mid-heavy when held in playing position though.

No need to phone anyone. I already have an appointment with a range of therapists from before.
I like this a lot. It draws from at least four design styles and ideals, and is not my taste by far, BUT at least it doesn't take itself so seriously, and is quite liberating in that respect, in my humblest of opinions of course. I'd be happy playing this in front of an audience, if I could play.


best,
bert
