Building a bass that looks like a samisen/shamisen?

[Fassa Albrecht]

Would a 3-string bass that is based on the shape of a samisen be possible? Or would the neck be too small and the 3 strings be useless?

A samisen:

[Darkstrike]

Yes, easily possible.

I know what I'm going to be doing over the summer...

Throwing up on a Japanese stringed instrument because you did too many push-ups in basic training?
