I'd love to see a kit in the style of the new Fender sixty six. It's essentially a guitar, with a j-bass shaped body. They're super sharp, but aren't offered in the finishes/pickup configuration I'd like to see.

Want it all? Want everything from that fender "twang, to that face melting Mesa scream? Check out the Egnater Tourmaster. Available in both head, and combo layout!
Maybe a JM-1 kit would get pretty close?
Almost a year later but I'd be interested in this. Really like the jbass body and I could see it working with nearly any pickup combination too. Thinking SSS at the moment but that's just because I'm knocking around ideas for a SSS build later anyway.

now this, this is an idea i could get behind!
Seems like it would be a doable custom kit, one of the J style bass bodies, maybe with no routes apart from the neck pocket and an F style neck would get you part of the way there.
Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

AIUI the 66 is a good bit smaller than the JB body. It would be cool to have a 66 shaped body on my Squier Strat, it's something I should investigate.
Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
A short scale jbass style body might be a good starting point for a custom if it's available, since the body should be a little smaller. I only saw p style short scales last I looked though, so I doubt it's a custom option.
