That sort of single cutaway with the long top bout style looks weird to me. But it definitely seems to be gaining popularity with bass builders (even our own DB).

A month ago I went down to Tassie for a couple of weeks to go to a couple of festivals. While I was Launceston the local music shop (Barretts) was having a guitar expo at one of the hotels. There were a whole heap of interesting guitars, basses and amps. One that caught my eye was in the new stuff for sale room, an Ibanez SR1800 A gorgeous bass that I could never hope to replicate.
I may have bought it.
Maddog we need photo's of that gorgeous bass please !
