Hey, I was wondering about this idea. Take the standard triple omega body but instead of the omega at the tail, have a standard point. That might look interesting - I'd love to see a mock-up drawing. Has this ever been done? Pictures?

I think I've seen a picture of one; and if I did it was probably in this forum. Or maybe it was side omegas and a rounded bottom. Nope, I found it; it wasn't even a standard body. It was Val's Essence with side omegas. So no, I don't guess I've seen a standard point body with side omegas. It's an interesting idea; maybe one of the Photoshop artists amongst us can fashion an example of what it might look like. Here is Val's beautiful Essence:

Hello Gary,

at today's prices the list on my bass would be about 7000$ without a case.
