Guitar neck on bass body - can it be done?

[Andy123]

I've always liked the look of Yamaha and Ibanez basses and wondered how they'd go with a smaller neck on them.
Would it be feasible to use a bass body in a guitar build?
To my mind, in theory, its just another hunk of wood to which you can install a guitar neck so why not. Then again, I am inexperienced and naive in the extreme.
