I've just been talking with my gal about this. She wants a small scale bass - like a mustang bass with a 30 inch scale.
I've got a couple of unfretted necks and some wood for a body, and I noticed that there's about 5 inches of wood behind a tele bridge...
So I think I'll make her a 29" scale, four string bass using a tele neck but just fretting it to a 29" scale and place the bridge on the very edge by the strap button.
If you're not worried about having less than 18 frets, a baritone could easily be made with a standard tele neck.
