Aight... where do I get me one of these?

One of the guys where I work plays in a band with a bassist who's 6' 8". He had a bass custom made that's literally a Fender shape wise, but blown up to upright scale - everything, including the neck width, is proportionally bigger. The drums in the band are behind a bunch of stuffed toys and such, so when you first look at the band, what you see is two guys: a really tall guy with a huge bass, and a guitarist. Your mind wants things to look normal - as a result, the guitarist (5'10 or so, with a regular guitar), just looks like a midget playing a toy guitar.
