Check out the Q&A section -
 
Q:  I would pay $1000 for an exact repro of Entwistles Alembic Exploiter bass, I would provide the electronics (2 EMG soapbar & 1 EMG guitar pickup plus...more Jan-21-08  
A:  Hi Joel! Sorry, but we cannot build you a bass like that for a thousand dollars! The spiderweb inlays ALONE will cost $720 for labour, plus $20 a gram...more

interesting note in the history..
Based on design mockups I did for for Roger Smith (refining his original pencil sketch spin on Entwistle's Buzzard)
 
Now I wonder if that's our very own RogerTVR who, IIRC, worked with Susan on her original drawings for the Dragonwing.

Graeme,
yep of course it is our Roger but to my knowledge there was no contact with this guy. I think he simply has copied what he saw here with the original drawings.
The only thing I like on this is the headstock.......
