It could be an 8 string but with each pair tuned the same but one roundwound and one flatwound

 

Body should have a monkey grip handle (and probably need one as it’s going to weigh about 15st

Expanding on Ped's headphone amp/output suggestion how about going for a 500w class eadg, beadg for 5 string, pre/power amp fed from an 18v dc passive/active pickup system (plus all the additional media suggestions put forward).

You can't get 500W from 18V and 2 9 volt batteries.

 

Even if that poweramp could run at 18V the batteries would be drained in a matter of minutes because of the power consumption required for it to work.

 

You would need a special plug in the bass for plugging in a power cord to feed the poweramp.

 

Also 200W seems more realistic as far as the size of such a thing would be.

I trust it's a limited edition. You wouldn't want any old Tom, Dick, or Harry having one.
