Post by mgauction »

You never know when you're going to need a mandolin when playing bass!

That IS true Mike, I'll NEVER know!!!!

JB might be in the middle of a rock classic and all of a sudden get the urge to play It's a Small World? That's the only scenario I can think of........

I died when I saw that auction. What's next? An electric bass with a fishing rod??

check out the list for other items from the same seller. A 5 neck guitar!? They have a banjo/bass also.

John Paul Jones could find a use for this. I could too. I switch from mando to bass to 12 string a lot.

I would totally love a double-neck mandolin/bass - I think I've seen a picture of Allen Woody with a Gibson. But never that thing that's on eBay!

I could use that as I play both, but there has GOT to be serious neck-dive on that thing.

I was at a show for a band where one of their new songs has mandolin over the intro. It was being played by the bass player. Clearly this would be good for him.

If Ric had ever produced something like that, I'm sure Dave Pascoe would own one. Image
