Mod collection EDS-1275 Double Neck 4+6. Tbird PUs

[uwe]

Basses rule guitars, it's at the proper place alright.

Today I got a question if I'd ever consider building a double neck.
Well, it did cross my mind. But I never really sat down and thought it through.
Until today 😉
How about a Brooks DoubleBird?

[Chris P.]

Cool! What about reversing the bass headstock, but keeping the tuners on top?

If you do my V2 nicely, Holländer, you migh try your luck on an SG shape long scale 5er fretless with a short scale fretted 4-stringer where the the D and G string feature octave strings. One bass Two basses to rule them all. I'd be invincible, ye mortals!!!

[Basvarken]

Du verrückter Deutscher!

Will you do it or chicken out, wretched Holländer?

Very Nice!! The design does look cleaner with the bass on top. My reasoning for putting it on the bottom is mostly playing position.

Haha, who knows. Let's get that silly UV done first.

In the meanwhile I can fool around making sketches.
Such as this variant on the DoubleBird that I did this morning.

I do prefer guitar on top, but the T Bird body lends itself to that setup really nicely. Just build it. Someone will buy I'm sure.

That's promising, but can you do it with an SG shape too? I do want to be Jimmy Page, you know.

Admittedly, the "mirrored" TB headstocks look just great.

[Basvarken]

Jawohl Herr Obergibsongruppenführer!

Brooks EB²

I could make a lot of noise with that.

In the interest of the B string, let's have the fretless 35".

The Twinbird is beautiful, but that is just not a good shape for upper register accessibility.

Not necessarily more than with a single neck bass.

You want BEAD?

You could move the body to the left a bit more. but somehow that doesn't look right on a Thunderbird (IMHO)

Curious how a Non-Reverse body would look as a double-neck.

Or maybe a Non-Reverse top and Reverse bottom.
