I hope that is a just a joke mock-up.  That will be one weird, dare I say unattractive & impractical shape.
 
Then again, some people say that about my head!

FJJ,
 
I do believe it's over the top, but looking at this from a Luthier's perspective, what an honor to be selected to be awarded such a personal and very meaningful eclectic musical instrument to build for such a high profile person.
 
Jermain Jackson, (for an R&B bass player) is as big as you could get, from the direct legacy of the GURU IP-MAN Bassist, James Jamerson.
 
Peace and Love,

With due respect to Jermaine, who I've always liked . . . at first I thought it was one of those 'toilet-seat' guitar things . . . . Well, hopefully the finished product will overwhelm that silhouette . . . . I guess a double neck on this shape would be a 'two-holer'?

Looks a little better with the finished hardwoods, but at first, I thought the same thing as Joey- toilet seat!
 
Jermaine is looking pretty good, though.

Looks like a letter 'Q'. perhaps it would be better as a quincy jones signature bass :-)

Man, that's one fancy toilet seat.   Add me to the list who didn't see JJ.
