Sorry to hear about your right arm and best of luck w/the surgery - Steinbacher? Have you seen this? - http://www.talkbass.com/threads/coming-soon-steinbacker-fretless-bass.858532/page-11#post-13689207 And a headless T-bird? Ha! We're on the same page twice here!

That thing is awesome. Killer kubickibird.

I reversed her to give me better balance/combat neck dive and I've never seen one that way before. using a right hand jaguar short scale with a reworked headstock

When you say you reversed the body, do you mean you flipped it over? Kinda like the Ibanez "fireman" guitar?
