So, are this just dreams so far or any concrete plans to really make one? Would be interesting to follow such a conversion! :D

Mario, the 4654Cii5 is my favorite, so far.

I like the shape of those Marleaux basses. To my eye, the bodies seem 4000 series inspired.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)
