Angled body basses.

[rubo]

Are there any angled body basses, have you seen one or know a luthiers who makes them? By angled I meant if we took a three piece body, the middle would be straight, but the wings are angled towards or from the middle piece.

Linc Luthier might be what you're looking for.

Do you mean something similar to the body profile of a Warwick Thumb?

The way the shape of the bass is made to sort of conform to your belly...???

Yes something like this, I'm building a bass and trying to angle it to it's more comfortable to play closer to 1,2 frets. Btu the idea I have is to angle it so that the neck angles as well, more like the G & D strings well be leaned towards the belly not from it.
