I'm currently looking for a double neck guitar / bass combo. I'd love to have a 4080 but that is WAY too much coin.
We do a few songs in my band where a second guitar would be great and there is no bass there. So...I'm just thinking.
I used to lust after one of those Carvin ones but they don't make them any more. And just missed out on a Steinberger.
Looking for something (relatively) inexpensive, hence the exclusion of the 4080. Ideas?
I've seen the Galvestons and such on Ebay, but I can't pull the trigger on one because, well, they are Galvestons.

Steve,

I believe, if you're game, that there are double-neck Danelectros out there. The only one I could find right now is a 6-string & baritone combination:

The baritone could be strung like a Bass vi.... I've seen Dano 4-string bass & 6-string doublenecks before plus a lone Jerry Jones bass/6 double-neck. These won't break the bank.....

However, I'm not sure that they would fit with your favoured genres...

Well, I play rock, not metal, but hard classic rock. A Danny might not fit the bill, but I wouldn't be above trying one if I could lay my hands on one! Thanks, any others?

You can build a custom one at Warmoth.

Other than that...no idea, sorry.

Found One! Pics to come, but let's say I got an AMAZING deal on Craigslist from someone who was looking to trade....I am HAPPY!

Congratulations, can't wait to see the pics

Yeah, me too! You have me very curious and I hope it is what I suspect....

Hey, Page played a Dano with Zep. Is that not rock?

Oh yes, Zep is rock! That is what I was thinking when I pulled this bad boy out Saturday night for Stairway To Heaven.

The story, well, someone local was looking for a 5-string bass, had this to trade, it is a 70's Aria bass in excellent condition. Waiting on a set of knobs to replace the missing one, but had to show this off a little while I waited. I had a few extra 5-strings laying around, ended up trading a Peavey Grind 5-string for it straight up. Came with a case that looks like a card table

You lucky thing! That is too cool!
Eden.

Cool!!

Yeah, way cool, but what do you do with that little short neck with all the tiny strings?

I think you strum it or something...
Actually I used to play guitar a lot, but I'm WAY out of practice. I guess I need to get out to the woodshed with this bad boy.

Great score Steve
