Ballard:
I dunno how much I'd dig the Tele shape as a bass but otherwise, fuck yeah building your own bass sounds awesome.

Bearer:
Yeah, it would basically look like this:

Just without the F-hole, and with the actuall tele pickguard and control knobs...also just a clear coat finish

Ballard:
Actually I like the idea of a Thinline bass more than just a regular Tele.

Bearer:
You know, the more I think about it the more the idea of a thinline tele-bass is growing on me.  I think I may just do that rather than the solid.  Then again, the project is basically hinging on me winning that neck (which incidentally has a Piezo pickup routed into the base of the neck).

greenMonkey:
Dude, a shortscale Thinline Tele-Bass would be awesome.  The only hollow-body Tele-bass I've ever seen is the G&L one, and it is a long scale so it looks pretty awkward.  I think a shortscale would be gorgeous though.  And I love the sound of semi-hollowbody basses (my friend has a Mosrite Celebrity bass and while it is ridiculously neck heavy it is a joy to play and has utterly beautiful tone).
