You seen this?

I expect a 5 string would be possible...

Hi eude. Cheers - Yes I had seen that. I contacted Alan at ACG. He told me they don't do the same as Wingbass, i.e. basically an instrument without the first 12 frets
Their short scale basses are 26 1/2" scale only. Though he was thinking about doing a headless version, to make a slightly smaller, compact bass.
I'm just liking the concept of a Wingbass, I must say. Wish someone close to me had one I could try out...

Fair enough @Marc S, the only Wingbass owner I know of is our @ped from round here, no idea if you guys are near each other though.

If it's that Wingbass atheistic you want though, it sounds like nothing else will do. I know the basic ones are too expensive, but still a gamble if you've never tried one...
