Artisan Bass Works

I was googling Jaco yesterday, got sidetracked onto his nephew David and then stumbled across the Artisan Bass Works site. Has anybody seen or even played one these basses? Quite strange looking but I bet they sit quite nicely.

I've played most of the ones they have made. Including the ones David Pastorius has. (I see him around a lot in my travels.) If you play with your bass in "classical" position, meaning medium to high on your body, and you have a good strap, the bass anchors and balances nicely and makes flying around the fretboard easy and a dream. The ergonomic model does in fact work.

All of the Artisan basses are very well built, so nothing in the manufacture is an issue or problem. The look of some of the models does make some people hesitate.

I play with my bass pretty low, and I throw my bass around a lot, so the advantages of the ergonomics for me are minimal. However in David's hands it sure does work and sound good.
