I would like to point out that, as the OP, this is the correct answer. 

 

As a side note OP are my first 2 initials and hence my family nickname, so every time I see OP I wonder how people know me.

Busted. I like to bass on the side.

 

Owen Peredur actually. Not a name you see every day.

I'd warrant it's a violin bass of some sort.

Candy Apple Red. Lushness.

Is this one of the Harley Benton kits? They’re doing a kit build competition at the moment. 

[Baloney Balderdash]

Well, isn't that obvious, yet it is just a stripped jazz bass body with a generously routed neck pickup cavity that would have room for something like a a '51 P Bass single coil P Pickup, and possibly even a mini humbucker, at least a guitar mini humbucker pickup, or might be even possibly have room for cramming in a soapbar style pickup if it was custom made to fit the specific measurements (at least I think that cavity is a bit too narrow for a standard sized soapbar pickup)?

 

At least one of those alternative pickup options/possibilities would probably be the route (no pun intended) I personally would go, rather than a J Pickup, quite possibly a '51 single coil Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder P Pickup, which unlike any of their other Quarter Pound offerings actually got plenty of mids and sounds phenomenal.

Tolkien did have a penchant for the Welsh language. “Welsh is of the soil, this island, the senior language of the men of Britain; and Welsh is beautiful.”
