I had help!
Indeed - I figured if I didn’t gel with it I could talk you into taking it off my hands. But it’s a BB so I am not worried.

That is one beautiful whale. Seriously gorgeous. Who makes it? Looks sort of Alembic, but far too few knobs

Handmade in France by a single luthier using designs by a Swiss guy. The boutique is called Cortex.
Here’s another beautiful example (with more knobs and an extra fat string for some reason).

And these are all headless designs, I presume!?! (Judging from the tuners at the bridge…)

Hah… interesting! Don’t think I have seen that solution before

Yeah, I hadn’t taken a close look. The ball ends are dropped in the individual bridges and the string ends are captured in headstock posts. This might be a custom designed/manufactured solution.

Nice looking blue SBV-550 just came up for sale. I used to have one in this color, it’s a great blue.

I’ll never want a fretless. But if I did want a fretless, this Aria Pro-II looks amazing, even though it’s in shit condition. Pretty sure this was made in Matsumoku but even if not it would be MIK which is also great.

I wasn’t sure if this should go in the porn thread, because it’s certainly not high quality Brazzers, but more homemade meth porn, but I think it’s awesome. It’s totally wrong looking, and I really don’t know why, but I simply fell in love with it. Headstock looks so out of place, as does the shark fin inlay, combined with the Rickenbacker-esque body.
