steve Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 can't see much point in [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200209637891"]this[/url], i think three of them are identical. Still, it is a 'very popular instrument nowadays' Quote
3V17C Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 crazy - i think the only use for that would be if you were in a cheap trick tribute band. peace c Quote
thedarxide Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 The middle three make no sense. I can understand having 12,7,6 but anything else is just stupid. You're not seriously going to need any other sound in one song are you? What's the Yes song with the triple, Awaken? I think that's 4 fretted, 4 fretless and a 6 string guitar. Quote
Paul Cooke Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I think the middle three are so he could do alternate tunings/string gauges, there's no apparent difference between any of the middle three... Quote

The triple neck bass is 4 fretted, 4 fretless and a 6 string bass (strung in octave pairs) but was originally a guitar as you say. Was made buy Wal for Rick Wakeman who gave it to Roger Newell when he played in Rick's band. Then Rick took it back when he rejoined Yes and gave it to Chris Squire who restrung the guitar neck as a bass. Quote
