That is a beautiful job & a tribute to fenders great ladies. I dug out a pic of Alan Woody of Govt Mule & ABB fame. He was originally a mandolin player so he had a Gibby  Double made with LP bass &  a mandolin. Very cool . he may have had more than 1 , he was quite a collecktor!

Wow, how cool is that?  My 2 fsvorites mated as one.

Nice.

Very, very cool.

I like guitar hung high and bass hung low so I would've reversed them, but I know a lot of guys like their basses high up so it's all up to what plays better for you, innit?

I think this is the first guitar/bass I ever saw  ... pretty hideous right?  The builder was in a band called Spongehead back in the late 80s - early 90s.  Cool weird band. I don't know what he made it out of, but it sounded pretty good to me.


Interestingly, when he played guitar, the bass role was played by his brother playing baritone sax through an octave pedal into a bass amp. THAT was a cool sound.

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

Impressed!

Anyone who has read my blog, knows that I have a love for Twin Necks.

Top job, for not many £££.
Unique and nice.

I guess you are on this side of the pond?

What sort of stuff do you play on your new found friend - and don't say "Notes",
I've been caught out with that one before!!

Cheers.

Its a teaching aid really,
I coach rock'nroll at a special needs unit for autistic kids, so when I am teaching guitar or bass I can swap between showing them how to play a part, then accompanying them on the other instrument
