Who remembers the Hutchins 6-neck guitar?

Well, somebody bought it.

Makes sense when you think about it.

You might want to double* that estimate.

It's like they ran out of ideas for the different necks, so they threw on a five-string bass next to the four string. Why?

Chris Squire of Yes used a three-neck bass. The first neck was a guitar, second was a regular bass and the third was a fretless. He strung the guitar neck up as a three-string bass using the inbetweeny strings as octave strings. Again, the fretless just seems a bit pointless. Doubleneck would be fine.

Seriously though, I've been starting to hanker after a doubleneck, either a guitar/bass or guitar/baritone combo... and I hate myself for it.

The fretless makes sense, but, a triple neck guitar just seems unwieldy.

I hear ya on the double neck hankering and feeling bad about it

I kinda like the double neck Rickenbacker bass/guitar that Geddy Lee plays in the Xanadu video

Wait, the singer in Rush is a guy?!

Ankhanu · Post by **Ankhanu** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 2:55 pm

... kinda.

The singer in Rush is THE guy.

Geddy Lee is the so fucking manly, we just aren't able to see it, he's like x-rays, or some other non visible-to-human-eyes/ears spectrum. He is so fucking man that he starts to come off as feminine.

He's such a man he doesn't even have a penis?

FUCK YEAH RUSH!

I'm thinking about building a doubleneck bass/guitar for my friend. He plays both in his band. That Ric is sweet.

FUCK.YEAH.

I sometimes think it'd be cool to have a guitar/bass double neck, but then I realize I'd rather just switch instruments.

Depends what your band setup is like. I'm trying to get a band together but I'm probably going to be the only guy playing an actual instrument, so I'm going to need to cover several bases. I have a POG, I just like the idea of a nice Gretsch doubleneck, too. There's a baritone/guitar doubleneck in the electromatic range that I've seen here and there for as low as Â£650 secondhand in silver sparkle. Stupidly over the top. I really want one.
