One way to make an ERB

I recently found this for sale used, and I have to say, I've never seen anything quite like it.
It's made by a company called Frenz, which is this guy who does custom stuff out of Ohio.

A 6 string bass with 32 frets. Closest thing I've seen are basses that have fretless necks all the way to the bridge (like the Marleaux Diva), but never a fretted. Hell, the most frets I've seen on a bass to this point were the 26 fret Warwick Dolphins/Thumbs. I appreciate the two pickups, but I'm skeptical that you can get much tonal variation. I'd prefer a single humbucker with splitable coils. Anyone seen a similar bass?


Edit: whoever owned this obviously loved it and played it quite a bit:
