Bass body, Strat neck?

[lemmywinks]

Bit of an odd one:

At last a genuine reason for splaying the tuners, there's no other way they would fit!

I recently asked a question about something like this - would a small strat body with a bass neck work??

Ask the seller if he has the leftover bass neck and strat body going spare!

That is a Fender Precision Lyte, in essence.

Warmoth did dinky little bodies didn't they?

I like this and the listing is BS free and makes no wild or inaccurate claims.

This bass has the handle of a kitchen drawer screwed trough the body in lieu of a thumbrest.

I'll say that again: A kitchen drawer handle. Screwed through the body.

MDP's got competition.

Disagree, think it looks OK and there are no wild or fanciful claims being made for it either.....

Maybe they should've used different tuners for that headstock...

I thought this was gonna be another one of Mayfield's Master Luthiers beauties.

Is that B string actually under tension in the photo? It looks very banana shaped. Starts too high at the bridge then comes back across the fretboard and does a nice little curve before it goes through the nut. Would love to know how much dive that has with all that junk on the end of a tiny neck.
 

Firewood at best.

Less neck dive than if it were a full-scale bass neck...

I feel sick.  Someone bought that?

This on the other hand...

I would quite like that, but not at that price!

[TheGreek]

My thought exactly....and not a Fender

Cool little thing, although insanely overpriced.

But this ad does bring to mind something that's baffled me for years - why (oh why oh why) do people cover up the serial numbers on instruments they're selling? What possible point is there in doing this?
