Place your bets on who’s most likely to dig this…
I’d have to see a right hand version and I generally dislike whales so probably not for me, but I do like the overall curves and color. Needs a solid white pick guard though.

Kinda makes we want to dig out my SEGA.
Yeah as suspected I dig the concept but dislike the lack of a top cutout. I am just not a whaler.
Single cuts are cool for more than mere esthetic reasons. But to each his own.
It’s not the aesthetics - I dislike them (strongly) for playing feel.
This one’s top horn looks 10x better to me than the Fodera or Mayones style whales (which, to me, are fugly and borderline disturbing/hideous) but the feel issue would be a showstopper.
I mean at least this one is a nice curve and not some encephalitic cetacean.
Whatever works for you.
Personally, I could cite a couple of other misshapen body “styles” I’d definitely throw in that category.
Needless to say we won’t be competing for the same basses.
Yup, it’s all subjective
I’m with you on the aesthetics for most of them, but what’s the playing feel issue? I don’t think I’m interacting with anything in that area when I play.
I have zero body parts that ever come in contact with the neck area covered by a single-cut bass.
I play a lot on the high frets of the G and D strings and it is much more comfortable up there for me to be able to thumb up on top or over the top of the fretboard, guitar-style, due to the arm/wrist positions involved.
Hmmm…I play a lot on the high frets all the time. Even as a longtime guitar player, I’ve never done the thumb-over thing. I tend to do the opposite far up the neck: I bring my wrist further over the fretboard to reach across the neck for higher strings. It works well enough for me. YMMV
It resembles a narwal’s appendage…
But then again it’s weird so I kind of dig it.
Instead of a white pick guard you could paint the body yellow and have a thumbs up emoji bass.
A bassjo?
Nope.
Jo-ust a bass-o.
I need this,
I was just restringing my 5 string last night and had pondered a little while ago tuning my tenor to EADG
