merello Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Double necked single neck bass! Look for the sunny side up double necked bass!

alyctes Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That's definitely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 There's a video of Leo Lyons playing it. Fretless on one side, fretted the other. Novel idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonieman Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) That be fugly. Is it Klingon Starship - inspired? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_starships Edited July 7, 2015 by goonieman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah saw a video today on FB. Cracking idea and using a footpedal to swap between sides is genius. Simple but still genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I bet the neck's proper uncomfortable. But I guess you might get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Not for me - I get enough hernia trauma from a normal smooth-backed bass! *Carefully adjusts truss* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The fretted side looks like a startled bison wearing wraparound shades. Must reduce my medication. Or possibly up it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) It should be impossible to gig. would anybody feel confortable having a fretboard and strings on the back of you normal basse's neck? Try it, flip your bass around and rub your hand across the FB... IMHO this is top candidate for "2015´s world stupidest idea" In fact, this issue (fretted/fretless) has already been solved in a more classy way: [url="https://youtu.be/MViWP44Abt8"]https://youtu.be/MViWP44Abt8[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/ft3t0YjfXEc"]https://youtu.be/ft3t0YjfXEc[/url] By this guy: [url="https://www.facebook.com/MikeyGuitars?hc_location=ufi"]https://www.facebook.com/MikeyGuitars[/url] Edited July 9, 2015 by Ghost_Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 that mickey bass has blown my mind, i want one and i dont even play fretless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Mickey bass is fantastic but why is nobody making them. The web page is dead and last FB entry 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yep, i think he hasn't made the best pub for his invention. It's by far one of the best ideas anybody had regarding bass building in the last decades. He could have registerd the patent and licensed it to the big dogs, i'm sure that a few would have picked this up (not Fender obviously). This design has a few years but i see that a big lot of people still don't know it exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
