A 335 bass. The Epiphone Jack Cassady is almost there, but I want dual buckers and I want it in cherry red.

the ibanez futura is indeed bad ass. i think it's funny that they copied a well known moderne fake instead of the original design.

i always thought the gibson futura was so much kooler than the explorer:

& i always thought these hendricks were pretty trick, especially the "la warpa" (orange) as it was concave:

A lot of people have made guitars like that with a thousand switched and buttons and dials...
The old Shergolds were infamouse for it -- coil taps, phase switches, bypasses...all sorts of stuff.
60s Kawais and Tiescos
People still end up wanting an Esquire instead

Look at this thing...beautiful yes, practical no.

Taking a bit of inspiration from the fuzzhugger guitar and John Entwhistle's Fenderbird I'd love to see a bass with a chambered alder body Gibson RD based body with Koa wood top and back and a maple Jazz bass neck with possibly a reversed headstock. For pickups I'd just go with a set of jazzes with one volume and one tone pot. I will make one of these guys sometime this year all going to plan.

Here's some Fenderbirds, it has a Precision where I'd go with a jazz.

the Bond Electraglide:

<<The Bond Electraglide was a carbon fiber electric guitar manufactured by Bond Guitars between 1984 and 1985. It resembled a matte-black, 3-pickup Gibson Melody Maker (although with the 1962 onwards double cut-away), with a unique stepped aluminum fingerboard (anodized black) instead of traditional frets. Pickup switching, volume and tone controls were completely digital, powered by a large internal motherboard.
The player selected pickups via five pushbuttons; volume, treble and bass were incremented numerically via digital rocker switches, confirmed by a three-colour LED readout.
The guitar required an external power supply pack and given the state of engineering at the time, was relatively bulky; it never really caught on in the marketplace and only about 1400 units were ever manufactured >>

only found one pic (and it doesn't show the stairstep fretless frets) :
