In person, I have only seen and heard a Lucarini like the one that is reported stolen at the bottom of the page. Now that was a master degree instrument in every aspect... It was sweeeeet...
I have seem 3 of them now. Two were in pictures including the one that was stolen and one was taken apart in repair. I tried to buy it as-is but time will tell if the owner gets the bass fixed or decides to sell it un-repaired.

Most of the Guitar Basses I have seen are quite small, 3/4 size at best. The one I have is a big 3/4 or small 7/8ths in the body/neck length but with the FFs placed so low it has a 4/4 string length of 44 1/2", about 113cm. In restoration, that will be shortened via a neck block cut.

Joel, what type of information were you looking for as fat as the statement you made here?
