PlungerModerno Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wow. I'm looking at it and ergonomically it makes no sense. The upper horn/Single cut bout, the neck carve with the heel around the 12th fret... I think this was made custom for someone who plays the bass in a different way. Perhaps sitting down only, or hung in an odd way standing up (frets 15 - 24 played with no thumb on the back of the neck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
