Double neck (bass and guitar) advice - please...

[70s Rocker]

I need a PLAYABLE double neck (4 or 5 string bass) with a guitar (6 string preferably on top).
However, I don't know where to begin to look. Brand? Model?
Budget is whatever it takes to get one that can be used in live situations.
Ebay gave me a bunch of $600 options I never heard of, but they could be OK.
Any help appreciated.

Whatcha gonna do w/it?

Play it in Church, but many times there is a cool guitar lead in - or acoustic type part before the rhythm section enters.
Therefore, the guiatar and bass have to be functionally as good as what I have or it won't be worth doing.
(I use a '90s active 5 Str J bass Fender or my 5 Str Sukop)

You could do a Warmoth build. I think they still have a Strat/P bass doubleneck body.

Anything stock?

I know Jay at New Jersey Guitar and Bass Center in Edison NJ had an absolutely amazing Carvin Doubleneck like you described. Check out his website and see if he still has it:

Maybe a little more than you want to spend, but definately a player.

Why the bass on the bottom? every one I have ever seen is always guitar on the bottom..

To that point, here is one from a source I know...

The Seller on Ebay is fantastic, and they set up every instrument before they ship it, so you get a pro level setup at no extra charge!

Also, the instrument is from a company called Galveston. I have seen and played a couple basses from them, and they are nice, especially for the price....
