Genetically modified, Alembic neck on J-Style body?

How did that happen? 
Maybe originated as a shop night bass? Visually it looks unbalanced with that neck matched with that body. Two individually strong independant iconic shapes combined ......... hmm

Given the passive electronics and body, that Frankenstein has quite an expensive neck.

agreed,  for about the same money you can get the real deal with real alembic knobs to boot!

but if you're in the market for an overpriced neck with possibly questionable provenance, why jack around with the wood attachments and knobs:
