I was browsing the "bass family" pics over at the "other place" and was sort of disappointed at the lack of, what are to me, interesting basses. Now, I know that everyone has their styles and favorites, etc., but the sheer number of boutique basses (most of which look alike) is staggering. Gold plated this that or the other thing, 5 strings or more, fancy wood, the extended upper horn, blah blah blah, made for a rather boring bunch of photos.
I don't get it.
