My version of the FenderBird is closer to the original Peter Cook/JAE design. It has a compact body, is 46" long, and fits in a Precision size case. It's not just a Fender neck on a copy of a Gibson body. You can get an idea how much shorter it is than the Bach version by how close to the end of the body the bridge and tailpiece are.
ExplorerBird for comparison.
I had pictures of the actual Entwistle basses but Photobucket ate them. Here's my build thread from 2010.

Weight is under 8 lbs (~3.5 Kg) with Honduras Mahogany body. Neck dive is minimal, even with original Kluson style tuners and strap button on upper horn.
