I've been designing a Thinline for a forum member and thought I'd play with designing an f-hole for the Jupiter...
Whether it was the sugary coffee or the psychedelic cartoons that did it, I don't know... But I got very carried away!
What are your thoughts? Crazy enough to be cool? I always loved the huge f-holes on those Aria basses...
Cheers!

Yep, I like it. Which surprises me, not being a fan of the thinline look, but it's different enough and well enough set off by the other aesthetic choices in that design that it works.

Looks cool. I would be worried about losing a pick in there or something. LOL

You would absolutely loose a pick in there. But you'd know where it is, unlike most of the picks I have bought over the years.
Also, I really like unapologetic sound holes, especially ones that aren't apologetic AND aren't wide.

It would be even cooler if it were cut right through like these basses.

I think the option to have the f hole on a solid would be an idea. Maybe to a depth of 50%…..i like f holes.

Actually I think it's still a bit too small
Seriously I really like it, I'd love to see that thing get built.

Hahaha, this is really, really cool!
I really dig your designs.
My one thought would be that the headstock looks a bit tame in comparison to the body now..? I don't think it needs to be too crazy since the body is quite mental, but maybe a slightly exaggerated line on the top would send it off-kilter in a really nice way.
Color-wise...Something like that seems to be called for:

id suggest for such a prominent f-hole a own shape, that just works with this design to have something like a rememberence mark or something. looks cool!

I immediately thought of the Ampeg bass and the Eastwood derivatives...
I dig giant f-holes, by the way.

I like it.
Just thinking out loud, how would something like this look if it was done diagonally through the centre of the body?
