I like the idea (not so much the price - yeowzers).  The body shape of the bass is not to my liking but I do like the shape of their single cut guitars, especially the offset one:

I like them.
Got a bit of a Jetsons vibe, no?

I would like to see the second as a bass yes!

"MB4 sound is aiming tones of the 90's noise, such as Shellac and Jesus lizard, etc."

No thanks.

Maybe a bit of a Vox "Paddle bass" vibe....

Given the US' penchant for archaic measuring systems, this brand certainly won't sell there. "Maxi-Inch Instruments" would likely do better.

They'd have to change their logo if they do that  8)

That bass looks like a combination Longhorn/Horseshoe Crab. Not that I entirely dislike it but for $2700, I don't know.

I was thinking longhorn 20/20.

Yeah, I thought that was a poor marketting choice, to narrow it in like that; very niche. 
but if you listen to those bands, the bass tone is good and applicable to other genres.

I've been following them on Instagram for quite a while, and I really like what they are doing.

I like the guitar more than the bass but it looks like Brad's Chromasonic

The French luthier(s) Jacobacci devised a similar design for the bassist Bernard Paganotti:

That's about as similar as it gets sans dowel rod.

Haha, more for me then Dave.  :mrgreen:

I like these instruments too but I agree about the price being tough to swallow.
