A few of them remind me of boutique custom shop versions of a Fender Aerodyne. 
The Purple to blue flip sparkle on that Squier Paranormal boutique copy is amazing!!!

Cool configuration on-site!
Thanks for sharing these.
You're welcome.
So many companies making nice basses these days it's hard to keep up.
Agree with @CletusMarley the Wizard 4 looks like a great value for a custom MM/J type deal.
Exactly what I was thinking. This is what Fender’s new Aerodyne lineup should look like.A few of them remind me of boutique custom shop versions of a Fender Aerodyne.
Fair enough. For 
's and giggles I configured a Shob, pretty basic (basswood, white with tort, maple neck/finger board, SS frets, chrome hardware, passive) and came out just south of $2K which is just about what I expected. Always thought that if I were to have a bass custom built it would be something similar, like a mid 50's P/Tele bass similarly outfitted but with a bound body. No option for that on this model and no option for the Tele type headstock. Some really interesting looking instruments though and I would assume from the pricing that they should be quite well built.
FWIW I have a Squier Mike Dirnt similarly outfitted that plays/sounds great I have under $350 in. Probably not quite as quality as the Tribe but for $1650 difference I think I'm good. Some cool looking models though.

I’m instantly impressed with their AHPT
(Advanced Headstock Painting Technology). I know a much larger company who cannot achieve that

those finishes are amazing (green and purple, orange) with a nice array of pickup configurations....the gas is flaring up again.
