Thank you, Rick Nielsen, for inspiring this sort of insanity.

Haven't we discussed these before? Maybe it was another forum. These multi-neck basses, guitars and guitar-bass matings have been appearing on the Bay for about a year, same seller, same "pro" Tennessee brand. No idea how many have sold, if any. I don't see them as anything but a curiosity. Well, that and a waste of cheap wood.  ;)

What a waste of Chrome!
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

too funny!   the ad reads like a chinese carry ouy menu.


Forth Neck Is 4 String Bass Neck

Two Large Bass Pick Ups Provide Great 5 String Sound



Two Double Humbucker Pick Ups Which Have Beefy Sound.

On neck #4, I would like the General Tso's double humbucker sound, with chili pod!

I'm sure we have laughed at these before.  They get some stunning reviews on on Harmony Central.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 1
Just awful. It also smelled like paint. "

"It arrived un-playable on either neck. "

"The finish on the body might look "ok" from the back of a smokey club after a few too many shots of cheap tequilla, but will certainly dissapoint anyone that considers themself a musician"

"No way I would use it in my front room let a lone at a gig!!!!!!"

"Hands down the worst construction on any instrument I've ever seen."

I saw something similar being played on a TV "news" show, a publicity stunt for a music shop. Could be the same as in the article below, claimed to be made by a company called Hutchins, who do make guitars, but "The Beast" looks suspiciously similar to the Tennessee ones, apart from being playable.

That "instrument" is a wall-hanger.  :o It's also more proof that just because something is possible, it's not necessarily a good idea.  :P

You'd need a high, strong wall, and some big screws.
