Thought on twin neck bass project.
I have been looking at the forum for some time, and have finally got around to joining at last.
I am based in the UK, and have played bass for a many years on and off, more off than on.

Recently I started a renovation project on a bass guitar, but as usual more work was needed than first anticipated, so I am now at the stage of building from scratch a new bass, body is made of Mahogany, the neck I have purchased. Have recently invested in more equipment for a new workshop, I am about to embark on a new build project, which will be a twin neck bass, not sure at this stage what the configuration will be, probably 4 string fretless and a 4 string fretted. But the configurations are endless.
All will have through necks, made from solid walnut.

6 string + 4 string
6string fretless + 4 string fretless
5 string fretted + 4 string fretted

Just wondered what you guys thought of the idea, and whether you think its a goer, your thought and comments would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Played with a guy that had an electric 4 string bass on the bottom and an electric 6 string rhythm guitar on top. Never paid that much attention to know how he ran his cables to the amp, i.e. Bass amp and or guitar amp.

I play rhythm electric and sometime sub for the bass when he can not make it. Twin neck could be a solution. Still need two amps or a switch between low and mid range. I let you ponder that....

Nice project. You might ask the forum mod to move it to luthier corner though. I'm sure you'll get a much better response to it there.
