Telebacker 9001
Lambic White Rat Signature
And 2 suitcase parlour basses.
How are multiple builds treated with respect to build threads? Should it be one main thread for all builds by one person or one build thread for each build?

Excellent, I'm so glad you are providing your time to cover the build of a Short scale 6 string Beatle bass!
Don't tempt me. I have a GFS Buyout violin bass body just waiting for me to do something stupid with it.
Strictly speaking, if I did build one, it would be a bass VI.
Why did I have to open my big mouth?
Might as well. Doing a mental inventory I pretty much have all the parts. Even have a spare set of Hofner teapot knobs.

Oh yeah... Binding. Sh*tloads of binding.
Moonshine
Binding on binding, oh my!
I don't know where I will find the time to do three builds but what the heck.
Build one- Baltic birch plywood Rickenb*stard 330B short scale 4 string bass.
Build two-Guyadanelectrotone LG200B long scale 4 string bass
And...
Build three-The Hoffy Schnitzelblaster violin bass VI
The Hoffy needs a headstock like this instead of the traditional 2+2. Still a Hofner head but more Rock & Roll.
Angled of course and maybe Baltic birch plywood.
This is a generic picture from the Google. The GFS Buyout body I have has no routes for the neck, pickups, or controls but I will probably keep the Hofner house style of two minibuckers and the silly little control plate.

Here is my plan: Total Gibson Mashup. 1. Les Paul Signature; semi hollow body (arched curly maple back, arched spruce or curly top with curly maple steam bent sides). 2. Thunderbird; 9 piece mahogany/walnut neck (through body) with 21 fret ebony fretboard (34"). 3. Dobro; 10 1/2" spider style resonator cone w/ Mississippi Voodoo coverplate. 4. Trini Lopez; Diamond shaped f-hole (one on the treble upper body bout)/split diamond inlays on fretboard. 5. Victory (Yes, Victory!); Headstock (modified). 6. Ripper; neck pickup. EB-0 Bridge pickup (this may change). 7. EB-2; pickguard (too much?
).
Needs more cowbell.
Hoffy Schnitzelblaster?!??
Epic
Easily fixed with a simple mounting bracket.
