Short Scale Geddy Lee?

Hello everyone!

I'm on a quest to find my ideal bass. I'm looking for a 30" scale with a P-bass nut width (1.625ish, not 1.75), and a profile like the old Geddy Lee basses (the super-thin version).

I know the Ibanez SR500 series also has about the same thickness (~18-19mm at the nut, and ~20-21mm at the 12th fret), but they don't have any short scales.

Do any of you know of a bass that matches these specs?

Thanks!
 
Maruszyzyk Elwood C perhaps? 30" scale, 40 or 38mm nut widths. Not too sure about the neck thickness, but Adrian is very flexible with specs.
