I thought  this one (http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/msg/1292147951.html) was kind of cool and unusual.

Interesting indeed- looks like it has a reverse headstock, Excel/Epic electronics and that it's using a standard MXY pickup at the bridge, but a P set at the neck.

Yea, it is.  I wonder if it's an employee project.
 
Interestingly, the Hamer guitar in the ad has Alembic pickups and electronics and bridge; and according to the ad was Alembicized by Alembic.

Hmm, it is a reverse headstock, or did they take a right handed bass, and flip all the hardware upside down so that they didn't have to cut new slots.  That would be my suspicion regarding the unusual hardware.
