Magnificently different.
I like the design

Except for the braided pickup wire that is on the outside. It ruins the über clean looks (imho). I understand that the pickup can move freely. It is attached to the body via magnets.
But I would have designed a slot for that wire to sink into.

Agreed.

Cutting edge technology that bridge is. No less.

PS: The Tortilla Bass sounds nicely organic, I'll give it that.
