It's a 'Hutchins'. Probably about the same build quality. SUPER heavy but genuinely not that bad to play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the annoying school kids instrument) The Gag was I'd stand behind doing the fingering and he'd do the blowing bit, but with the 'novelty that the recorder was stuck up his nostril...

Delberthot Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Not a bass but I've seen Rick use this live - It was a long time ago but I think that he uses it on "Surrender" which is exactly what my back would be doing if I had to hold onto this thing I'm pretty sure that he used all 5 necks as well Edited March 20, 2023 by Delberthot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude from Coheed and Cambria had a double neck SG in one of their videos, he didn't touch the 12 string neck once, therefore he indeed automatically classifies as a cockweasel. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Jonas Reingold plays a 4 string bass and 12 string guitar double neck in what is my favourite version of the Genesis song "Firth of Fifth" He doesn't use both necks in this tune but does elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
