Whether you like the single cutaway designs or not, it now appears as evidence that the "Single Cut" models come as an alternative concept in the bass world. So we can observe, as usually, the same division between fans and critics.
As a personal confidence, I was not a regular fan of some massive drawings I could see on the web or sometimes coming in my workshop. However, my main rule is not to decide "on what side of the border line I have to stay", but to think about what could be my "professional" view on this design. As I always pretend: I do not draw instruments for me, but for you!
In fact it happened one afternoon. A customer was exposing his project when he added: "... I know you don't have something looking like... but could you please draw a Single Cut bass?"
So why not? (I said to me). Yes there's a comfort in facility, but I always feel something motivating and so exiting in a more difficult path...
