Any double-neck bass maniacs?

For me, that double-neck is only one 'beauty' in that kind of world.

Which is a Gordy Blueshift Custom, from 1985, bit more info [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/266670-twin-necks/page__view__findpost__p__2831705"]here[/url].

The band I was in at the time is on indefinite hiatus, so in a sense it's surplus to requirements now (if it was ever needed, really!) - but the fretless neck's the nicest I've played, and the bass is a genuine one-off.

Or should that be "two-off"?

What bass?
[/quote]
Some wooden bass - sorry I don't know the brand
Four and eight string necks

Weight wasn't an issue - stretch was

Have you ever considered building a body to take either neck to give a fretted or fretless neck?

No - I think it would be a shame to cannibalise a unique instrument like this - besides the fretless half's perfectly easy to play - all the time you're sitting down! :lol:

I've never seen a twin neck that I've liked the look of. The headstocks always look like they're just two separate necks bolted onto a body rather than been designed as a pair with some sort of symmetry. Maybe somebody should make a L/R necked twin neck.

Headless would be even better. Oh, look:



although I prefer parallel necks (which they do too). And they're composite so they keep the weight below 6kg.

Not that 6Kg is actually "light", you understand. :lol:

As for myself, I found my double-neck disappeared quite quickly when I went on a diet ...

I see a couple of nice examples posted in the Shergold thread. Now [i]those [/i]were double necks... Best of all, one of these modular monsters: [url="http://www.shergold.co.uk/beat77.html"]http://www.shergold.co.uk/beat77.html[/url]

Those were two guitars which bolted together.
