I think it looks better than the new Schecter.

The first one's a bit T'bird meets BCRich...?

The second is a different approach...

First link not working for me. Here's more with video: http://www.jacksonguitars.com/blog/product-news/david-ellefson-demos-the-jackson-kellybird-bass/

Obviously a hybrid design.

We've seen a different DBZ before. It's Dean Zelinski's latest company.

The first looks like a defensive weapon or bottle opener...I like the DBZ model better, including the relief of the raised center section.

The hailfire is all Jeff Diamante's thing. Dean split. So the new company is DBZ diamond. Check out the blue burst. Reminds me of Leon Wilkeson's t bird.

I don't like the Jackson; never liked the Kelly guitar shape.

The DBZ Hailfire looks nice to me, and it has the same Babicz bridge as the new Gibson EB Bass.

They're both OK looking, but I'll always prefer the traditional Gibson shape. The neck on the DBZ looks like it sticks WAY out from the body, which I don't like.

This is a cool Thunderbird inspired bass as well.

I like that one a lot, very sculptural and sexy

Those are kinda cool. I like the swooshy body though it takes getting used to.

It's got kind of an Iceman/Mockingbird thing going on there, eh.
