xilddx Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I think I need one for live work in one of my bands. I can't find one for sale anywhere. I know the guy from a Genesis tribute band picked one up off the bay recently for £300. They seem to be thin on the ground though.

I'm already on the case with that one. Problem is we can't value it, they're rarer than hens teeth. I don't want to enter into a bidding war with anyone else on here either. Thanks again.

I have played a Steinberger Spirit guitar (very good for the money) and a Hohner G3T, the Hohner was better, but they don't make a double neck. The Spirit's for live, I have my Warwicks for recording. I've really got a bone in my chops for a double neck now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thay are Japanese, I think from the Fujigen Gakki Factory. They are very good quality, like early Ibanez. Bassassin is an expert in all things Jap so he will know, drop him a PM. Arbiter also distributed Fender, and were also known as Dallas Arbiter when Dallas acquired them. Very good guitars as far as I know.

[/quote] Hah, I was having a chat with a bass builder friend of mine and we cooked up an idea of getting two Hohner cricket bats, bass and guitar, and doing just that. I may consider this if I get nowhere with getting a stock double. It would be laughably easy to do! I really like the Hohners as well, I've had a Hohner headless bass and guitar before. They are so good for the money. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
