I'm afraid this was the first and last of this particular model. I used two 3000 basses but a 4003 and a 620 should work nicely too and probably wouldn't cost as much to build. The important difference between mine an everyone elses double necks,including RICS, is that I align the bridges with each other which sets the guitar neck a couple inches deeper into the body and makes for a nice flow on the cutaway lines from one instrument to another. A 2000 series bass and 200 series guitar would be a nice alternative too. You'd have bound necks and modern truss rods and less filling of control cavities and such with the rear mounted controls. Also,unlike RICS doublenecks I can split the necks through a Ric-O-Sound jack and send them to completely different amps. When I'm playing power chords on the guitar neck, the bass strings will start to vibrate sympothetically in key with it which is a pretty cool effect.
