Short scale jazzmaster bass with a P bass pickup in the middle and a ric in the bridge. Lipstick behind the bridge maybe? Yeah.

If you can do without the vibrato, there's always the Rascal.

i want to put either a bigsby or a jazzy trem on my iceman, but i'm not sure if it will work since it's string through and has a weird strat type bridge.

that tele is magnificent.

:evil:
you could also replace the bridge with a RIC, hofner or a tune-omatic type bridge with a bit of tinkering for 4 string spacing while still being able to use the trem :thumb:
you could also replace the pickups with tele/51 pbass pickups so the strings and poles line up :thumb:
you could also duck tape a squirrel to it but the results might not be worth it :thumb:
