In my opinion it looks more like they were made from old wooden crates or whisky barrels, tha a 'normal' relic.

Great looking bass. I can't for the life of me, however, understand why many manufacturers who build hollow and semi-hollow basses don't make them in a long-scale version.
Another note about long-scale hollows - many of them do have a neck dive problem. I know that my 32" scale Gretsch 5123 is a bit of a diver, and i went to an extra-long suede strap to fight that. IIRC, my Casady was a diver.Due to the fondness that Bill and I have for short scale basses, I don't always perceive this as a problem. My new Psycho Cabbie is a shorty (and that's my 5123 behind it...)
