damn. This sets new lows for ugly.

I actually hope it's a home-mutilated bass (horrible though the idea is).
If it's not, that would mean that this thing made it into production... ew.
Nice
I've been thinking about a fretless 5 for a little while. If this is still here in a week (which I doubt ) then no doubt the GAS will have its way...

I am actually going to build one soon, so I shall report back after

If you're doing that, you may find this site useful: www.largesound.com. Have a look at the user forum, there are several people there who like tinkering with short-scale builds with plastic strings.
I've got one (bought from BC member bobpalt). I like it. I like the portability, I like the thud, I like not needing an amp to practice.
Its downside, for me, is that it's hard to get people to take them seriously - which is why I don't play it as much as I'd like. It's actually easier to get that with an Ashbory.
Also, Bakithi Kumalo likes them, so I figure I'm in good company

A pleasure dealing with you sir - glad you like it! Funnily enough, I did at one point consider looking for a cheap Westfield Jazz to swap necks - seemed more appropriate, somehow.
I love the twin-P configuration - I've got to stop looking at pictures of older BC Rich Eagles.

Likewise, on both counts

...or a poor copy of the Italian Fibonacci neck, which uses 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 ...
