Bassassin Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 That seller has some absolutely bonkers stuff - this one's comparatively sane: [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-LEFT-HANEDED-DOUBLE-NECK-HEADLESS-BASS-5-4-FRETLESS_W0QQitemZ190122088384"]http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-LEFT-HANEDED-DOUBL...emZ190122088384[/url] If it was right-handed, with a lined fretless 5 & fretted four, and had the fretless neck on top, I'd be interested! As it is, I guess I'll just have to build my own! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nimrod Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 12 string bass - Item number: 190177479234 - currently $61!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) it's odd how there doesn't seem to be a cheapo 12 string electric guitar- only in doublenecks, but plenty of cheap 8, 10 and 12 (doubled/tripled) string basses. the gimmicky angle seems to sell. this looks like the Steinberger Spirit doubleneck- with separate outputs for each neck it could be an interesting concept for solo playing with 2 processing lines. I'd prefer the guitar neck on top though.

SJA Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 I don't get the pickup config on that 10 string- it's a sort of giant reverse-P setup but they overlap too much for even output... the 5 neck is just ridiculous- Rick Nielsen of Cheap trick had Hamer build him one- pretty much a stage prop.

Bassassin Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 That ten-string looks to be strung with very light strings, maybe a 4-string bass set & a set of guitar strings - I'm pretty sure the top 3 look unwound. Probably why it hasn't snapped in half. Wonder where you get guitar strings as long as that? And how is that pickup wired, that it needs 2x volume & 3x tone controls? J.

Happy Jack Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Getting back to that original triple-neck, would you buy something described as a [i]Professinoal "Tenneessee"[/i]? I mean, one typo is bad enough, but two like that in consecutive words ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
