This has to settle with me, I'm comparing ... What do my brethren here think? Am I being anally retentive? I think the slanted necks look Rick Nielsen-goofy.

[Basvarken]

The entire thing is Rick Nielsen goofy. No matter what angle the necks make.

Derek Smalls' was angled.  Not sure I'm making a point here, though.

[BTL]

I prefer the look of the parallel version. I have no opinion on ergonomics or playability.

I think it was a real lost comedic opportunity in Spinal Tap with the BC Rich. It would've been hilarious for both to be the same exact 4-string bass.

Spinal Tap is always a worthy reference! With the BC Rich pointy shape, angled actually looks good, but with an SG Siamese Twin?

That is what I first thought before I recognized the octave strings!

[uwe]

"Honey, you think my arms will be long enough to play it?"

"You'll do mighty fine, Uwe."

Goofy is as goofy does!

[BTL]

I'm almost certain my arms are not long enough to play it.

[Dave W]

I would go with angled. It looks like it would make the lower neck easier to play.

Great thread, go for it Uwe!

I have thought about building a Gibson doubleneck bass/guitar for years and have now started buying wood for this one:

I still like the double bird better, but you do you.

[Grog]

I've been tossing around building or having built a guitar/bass double neck for years. Bass on the bottom with either one or two Hobbit pickups. Guitar on top. I have both vintage & one Jim DeCola Les Paul Recording pickup that could be used for the guitar, or two NOS Maurader bridge pickups that I made pickup surrounds similar to the low impedance pickups. I was thinking os using a Boss LS-2 to switch from bass amp to guitar amp. An interesting project that I may never get to.........
