I'm getting to like single cut/ semi acoustic basses - I think it was Chowny that turned my head initially - IMO Ritter do it best though.

Way too cool. I'd play that!

I'll throw a secret favourite of mine.

OK, interesting looking bass. I feel the headstock might need to echo the body shape a bit more maybe?

For me something like this but as a 4-string and with some different wood options:

Unique definitely. And completely hollow? how? Not my personal choice but I suppose I know I wouldnt look particularly at home playing it. This on the other hand:

Here's some info from their website :
Q :
How are they made?

A :
We’re not telling – it’s a secret! Well, maybe just a few words…
The instruments consist of a thin “monocoque” skin, just a few millimeters (~1/4″) thick.
Monocoque means a strong shell that supports the string tension and provides acoustic resonance.
The body and neck of all models are one piece and completely hollow,
and Heiko inserts sound posts to connect the front and back surfaces
(exactly the same as on upright acoustic basses).
Some areas of the shell are a bit thicker for mounting hardware (under the tuners, for example).
Instruments are built up over a core piece, which is later removed.
They are not formed on some injection molding machine, and they do not
pop out at the push of a button! Each one is made by hand with care and skill.

Spacebass is a bit nutty for me, so is the white blob. However I really love the look of the millimetric bass, even the headstock has grown on me. Anyone played it before?

I like that!
