The wiring in there must be a nightmare LOL
From the luthier:
āThe most interesting aspect is the unique multi-coil pickup system. It consists of eight pickups, each with 7800 windings of AWG42 wire and 6mm magnets, mounted on an aluminum base plate. Each pickup can be moved along the strings over a wide range, allowing for a high degree of tonal flexibility. The pickup system is complemented by a passive electronic setup, which features a 12 position capacity switch, including a mute position. The switch can be used to adjust the resonance frequency of the pickups, adding another layer of sonic customization. The balance pot gives control over the blend between the bridge and neck pickup sets. Another feature of the Anachronist is its D-extension. The unique design allows the two frets to be freely adjusted, similar to a bridge. Thus, it can be installed in basses with different scales.ā

I think this is the only one in existence. It was a brainchild experiment, I believe.

Iām sure, if you contact Thorsten at bassic.de (his handle is 13ghosts), something can be done!

I imagine that could be the case. But the devil is in the details. And, apparently, in German. 
Even better I can place the order and they can ship it to you and you can tell me how you like it,

I am not worthy of that bass! It will take me another 5-10 years to get to that level.
But be sure to contact him - he doesnāt bite ^^
(PS He speaks english)
