Double Neck-Bass

Doublenecks haven´t been too popular, especially due to their weight. Since all of our instruments are lightweight, we can also do double-neck instruments, that compare well to a wooden single-neck cousin. We can combine standard fretted and fretless bass as well as bass and guitar or different numbers of strings.... Tonewise, it´s comparable to our STD-model, while the bigger body also adds more volume to the low end - as one would expect. We highly recommend headless tuning systems for balance and overall weight distribution, but headed is also possible. Electronics are our BassXX preamps and Delano pickups, but - once again - you can also choose that on your own. Same thing for parallel or angled necks. The standard switch between the "two instruments" is a 3-way toggle, with upper or lower neck and also both, in case your guitarist would like to help you out, during your fretless solo. Tappers might be able to even use both necks at once.
