I saw a Fender Frontline article from 2003 showing an interview with Alien Ant Farm's bassist Tye Zamora.

In this interview Zamora discussed a plan for an Artist Signature model totally different than the classic Fender bass designs such as the Precision, Jazz, Mustang and Musicmaster. As far as I know the Zamora bass never went into production, though I saw a couple of pics showing Tye while playing his signature bass live on-stage.

The Zamora signature 6-string was a very unusual bass. Its body was a cross between a Warwick Streamer and a Washburn Taurus. It also sported chrome-plated hardware, two Bill Lawrence humbuckers and an active 3-band EQ with an 18V power supply.

Image

Tye doesn't only use 6-string basses. He had a lot of 4-string Jazz Basses in his arsenal, including a Jaco Fretless and a '75 reissue modified with a top-mounted jack placed near the control plate an Aguilar preamp.
