 THIS!

Someone  must have really liked the omega,
considering how it brought the tailpiece right to the bridge assembly.
 
It might have a touch more punch with the increase in pressure at the saddles, ...just a guess.

That one is super cool, Elwood.  
 
Seeing how the strap button isn't on the upper horn, paired with what looks like the longer scale, I wonder if that one required a neck-dive disclaimer.

Regarding the ebay Scorpion shown four posts above:
 
Anyone know what the electronics package and control layout is comprised of?  The pickups seem somewhat thin in the top-to-bottom axis, for lack of a better term...
 
Could be interested.

That's so tempting....

Those are MXY pickups with the anniversary electronics package. Same size coils as the AXY, except the mold is thinner...

Thanks for the info.  I'm watching this one.

Did I mention that the 8 string Scorpion with the skull and crossbones (eyes are red LEDs) used to be for sale at a well known bass shop in Romford Essex (UK).
I had the privelage of being allowed to play it---or at least try.
It's huge, and weighed a ton, but it was Greg's, so---

The seller's claim that we won't make a bass with a Scorpion body is incorrect, but it does look that that is a super-small Scorpion variation, and that we might decline to make a long-scale 5-string with that shape for balance reasons. Can't really tell, but that could be long or medium scale, and either one is obviously not going to balance like a Rogue!
 
There is no scale length mentioned in the listing, and there is no way the gig bag came from us in 1993.

That's good to hear Mica because my next bass will be a Scorpion!
