Reminds me of the BC Rich Wave bass.

Looks like a mutation from radioactive fallout.

I think it would look cool upside down as left-handed.

I figured there'd be more positive comments since they ditched the 2 point for a badass.

That in itself is a major abomination.  IMO the 2-point rivals the Fender bent metal bridge as an icon of simplicity and elegant function. I inherited a BA on an EB-0 and immediately removed it and re-installed the 2-point. Sold the BA to a sucka on Ebay and was happy!

And then there's Steve Wishnevsky's take on triple-cutaways - the EB-ugh:

The 2 point Gibson bar bridge is king of all bridges!  :)

Obviously I agree, but even here (nevermind the general bass playing public) there are a group of evertilt naysayers/badass lovers.  Also it's litterally the perenial; 'mod' for any vintage EB to put a BA on it.
