It IS lopsided. The tiny, out of proportion lower horn makes it look that way. Your eye tries to balance it out and it can't.
Look at the bass with a towel or something covering the horn half of the body and it's easy to see the bouts are symmetrical.
An M. C. Escher bass!!!
Rob should really be ashamed of himself for falling trap to a Dutch artist's stylistic concept and creating unwarranted mass hysteria here!
No that's not how I meant it.
I
know how to look at the body with asymmetrical horns. The Epi JCS for example is no different.
But with the Epi JCS there is no optical delusion. There nothing wrong with the body.
But this new Gibson bass looks lopsided/asymmetrical to me.
The right side (as seen from the front) looks too wide.
I photoshopped to show you what I mean:
Cut the body in half and mirrored the right part to show you what I mean.
You can see the new left half sticks out more than 1 cm over the original left side.
