4000 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 [quote name='lozbass' post='687059' date='Dec 17 2009, 09:49 AM']Interesting this, now I think about it, I've had loads of pairs over the years - must be something I do semi- or sub-consciously. I've moved a lot of stuff recently, but current pairs are these (non-identical twins...err...in no particular order) [attachment=38435:IMG_1460a.jpg][/quote] Loz, you already know this but those Alembics are sooooo gorgeous.....

kingforaday Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 my thoughts exactly... beat you too it! can't decide though, would it be better if the white t40 had a rosewood neck for extra 'opposites' appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsmith Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Here are my twins: Two Fender Jazz (Geddy Lee), although I've sold one now. Also in photograph are two Rickenbacker 4003 basses (I also have a 4001CS and a 4003s5). Mustn't forget the twin-neck twins, a 4080 and a 4080/12.

Kiwi Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 a few more as promised... ...this group shot is the only one I have of both Modulii when I owned them: [attachment=40459:DSCF0144.JPG] The Cutlery (although not strictly identical twins, its as close as I could get when I owned them): [attachment=40461:DSCF1233.JPG] The two Spector NS5CRFMs: [attachment=40460:DSC03147.JPG] If I'd had the presence of mind, I could have taken a couple of the Celinder Update J's while I had the black one but the headstocks were slightly different anyway.

How did you come to have two (for just a week)?[/quote] Both came from Thomanns. The first looked a bit grotty and i thought it looked used so i emailed them and they said send it back within 30 days for a replacement. Rather than wait i ordered another one that day and planed on keeping the first untill it arrived so i could compare them. The second one arrived in almost the same condition. I think maybe they get a bit grubby when they are setting them up. so i had both for a week or so before sending the second one back, mainly because the first one played a bit better and had more sparkle in the finish. I sold it about 18months ago but Ive just today got another one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. Yes, probably the wrong place to put this but it [i]is[/i] a Twin, so sort of counts. To make things better how about the Twins below? The maker of the Ric Twin was "Reeve Guitars", Northampton - made in the '90's. It is a great bit of kit, well made but I can find nothing about the maker. If anyone else has any details, I would be grateful if you could share any info.

Musicman20 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) My problem is, I cant find anything I like as much as the new Fenders, or Ernie Ball. Vintage ones would be the next step I guess, but I love new gear. God knows I tried to try new manufacturers, all this year in fact. Lakland, Sadowsky, Warwick, Spector, tried them all out, and a few different models. Still come back to the old fashioned Stingray/P/J. I intend to get a Stingray 5 at some point....so still not going for anything different. Edited January 20, 2010 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
