    Not really my sort of thing. Nothing like what I like in a bass. I can't fathom why anyone would want a carved back. Nicely made I suppose!

    It's actually a good thing that we don't all like the same stuff!

    Perhaps the maker was influenced by a cello. Who would want a bass with a carved back is a different - and better - question.

    Spector and Warwick make bass guitars with carved backs - albeit concave. 

    The OP instrument obviously owes something to old Höfner hollowbody instruments. Its outline reminds me more of some EKO plywood horrors from the Seventies.
    Be seeing you.

    I like the look of that.  I wonder if it's hollow?

    I don't like the inlay and box in a circle thing on the back, but 10/10 otherwise...And a second pickup would make it 11/10.

    It would be even better if it was even simpler.





    With no frets :).

    Nice shape, it's like a slightly more sophisticated Aria Cardinal series.

    Who is Graham? The maker or the owner?

    The tailpiece is pretty clever.  And pretty. I hope the bridge has a good way of setting intonation.

    Yeah that’s nice, I’d like to try it, Kay did a simple looking bass many years back with single pickup and similar body shape without the curved back, I think it was the Kb1
