Is this a rare request? I don't ever recall seeing one photographed that was built. Has anyone here?

They're out there, Brian... not common, but I wouldn't say rare either. This one stuck in my head when hammer (the other Brian here!) was looking for his fretless. I've seen a couple others too., and at least one Brown Bass fretless.

I'll keep an eye out.  ;)

Weren't there some made with SS bodies but had long necks that had neck dive issues as well?

Yessir, and from what I read, those Small Standard, with long-scale basses are pretty rare. I think slawie has one, and maybe mavnet's fretless is long-scale too.
