glue bass and guitar together to make doubleneck?

[Dave W]

Titebond works on the molecular level, it bonds with the moisture of the wood.  It's close to impossible to plane too smoothly, the usual cause of failure is bad joinery or improper clamping.  A proper joint will almost never fail at the glue line, it will be the wood on either side of it.  You want a zero thickness glue line.

...

Franklin's Titebond product guide (.pdf) specifically says "no saw marks and no burnishing of the surfaces to be glued." If you keep your planer blades sharp, you won't plane too smoothly, but then you were in the furniture business and you know that. I've seen home woodworkers who don't keep their blades sharp, and others who think it's okay to sand the surface to a gloss.

thanks guys,
was a steep learning curve,
It looks good in the photos but the finish doesn't bear close inspection.
when I embarked on this Project I thought it would be my joinery skill that let me down not my spray painting skills, I come from a sculpture and prop making background and have done a bit of graf so I thought the paint job would be easy. turns out doing a large plain area with is deep factory shine is actually more of a black art than flashy  shadings and highlights . I ended up redoing it three times to try and get the nice finish I wanted, and typically the first one was probably the best. in the end it was budget that made me stop, I spent more on spray paint than I did the guitars. But the whole thing came in at under  £200, over budget but not by too much.
  I made myself stop and finish it as it's meant to be a workhorse not a show pony, but the bad paint job does bug me so I'm already thinking about having a go at relic-ing, but I have other projects to get to first..
  Talking of which there is a sentimental touch in that the machine heads and volume and tone knobs on the twin were both taken off my first Bass, a short scale epiphone ET-280 that I am now ressurecting as a T-bird inspired travel bass.
  All in all though I am pleased with my first attempt at Luthery, Its a bit on the heavy side, and I thought about routing  out some of the wood thats hidden behind the scratchplate but it's a bit on the neck divey side anyway so I don't know on that.
But I woldnt have even attempted this without the things I have learnt from all you guys, so once again Thanks

Excellent...

Neck-dive is a way of life round here...

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that such an instrument would be heavy and neck-divey!!

Nice work.  Finishing gets easier with practice!

Really impressive job!
