I saw this bass on TB and thought it looked really nice. It's some sort of reverse Ric clone with Lakland Chi-Sonic pickups in it. The poster is from Sweden. I asked for some info on the bass so we'll see.

The thing looks like it's got a hard on  :o and people think Rics reverse headstocks on the C64s are ugly.

Wow! That looks pretty.

That gives me an idea.
What if you took one of these and put Chisonics in?

I've been very tempted to pickup the BaCH Ric, and drop my Dark Star and '70s Ric pickup into it.  It would certainly save me a lot of trouble with getting pieces together.

No so much for the reverse body, but I like everything else about it!
