No kidding, I was thinking of slapping together a short-scale guitar with p90 neck pickup but got sidelined ... I think the specs/looks of this are great ...

Would play. Especially if there's a pull pot to split the 'bucker. My favorite guitar lately has been my Fallout, and it's set up just like that.

the g&l fallout is such an amazing shape, great value, the one i played was super lightweight too. i can't be friends with the necks tho!

You mean radius mismatch?

I keep seeing this touted as "what iff a jazz bass was a 6-string spanish instead?" but really it's just a hss strat with a wonky bod.
a fender jazz guitar (that isn't yet a master... jazz student? jazz apprentice? jazz noob?) for me would have
-jazz-style body shape and hardware (pickguard, chrome plate)
- TWO pickups and no more, like two tele neck pickups or somethinga
-hardtail bridge. offset vibrato would be nice for how i play but JAZZ BASS AIN'T GOT NO VIBRATO, SON
on paper, I'm sort of into the sixty-six as-is, but I don't like modern fender necks much and it seems everything other than MIJ and MIA stuff tends towards being overly heavy. if someone started making repro bodies in the same style i'd rock one on a parts guitar
