Here is a double neck bass and baritone guitar that I tried out at the Alembic meet 3yrs ago.

Great looking twin twin necks! Would be great to see you in a band with someone else using the second one at the same time!

Good idea! Actually, when he joined the band, our guitarist was supposed to be joining as the bass player, so maybe it will happen...Spinal Tap or not!

I have no doubt that it is exquisitely constructed and sounds great. But my GOD that is one ugly munterfunster.

If anyone was around Watford in about '75 or '76 you might have seen a band I roadied for called Media.
2 Shergold twin neck guitar + bass, plus bass pedals and a keybard player!
I don't remember either of the guys complaining about the weight, but I did put my back out carrying the Rhodes, as a scrawny 15 yearold.

Here's a pic of my ex Shergold 4/8-string (and another of the one I posted earlier) - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136439-shergold-basses/page__view__findpost__p__1235025

The 4/8 is now sold on via Wunjo to another happy twin-necker.

In a moment of madness I made this. Modelled by my son.

Either you managed to make that superlight or you're going to be having an interesting conversation with your son in a few years about how he fell from the sky in a space vessel with a mysterious S symbol on his clothes.

The twin neck looks great! Good work!

It's not as heavey as it may look. There's a large cavity behind the controls. 12.5 lbs. The shape was
taken from Chris Squires Mouradian CS74. I used the necks from Westone Spectrum.
As for bass pedal synth I use these.
