Fender Jazz Doubleneck PICS!

Is that the BEAD/EADG bass? Cool!

 

Whoa, you said your friend was getting a custom double, but your friend is Timmy!! SWEET!

Fender left the Precesion decals on the neck, but the body and PUPs are definately Jazz. Was the neck tapered like a J?

 

umm..... AudioSlave.

Also, I don't get the B-D on one & E-G on the other. When he (his tech) brought his basses to Sadowsky for a set up, they were both tuned B-D. Why not just re-string one from E-G or get another bass for the E-G? That bass looks like it would be too heavy for even one song.

 

When they played Dallas in March, he just used one Jazz and changed tunings, alot. Maybe he just wanted to simplify things, and rejoin a gym

 

That make sense to me. It looks ALOT better than I thought it would.

 

Yes I can't see the point - what's the advantage of this - why not just get a 5-string?

 

When I saw them in NYC, he also used one of the Jazzes. A black R/W with a morrored p/g. His back up was a Natural Jazz with I think a maple board. Both had P bass necks on them. One of the basses had a hipShot D-Tuner, but I don't remember which.

He

 

What's the point of that bass? I could understand if one was 8 string and one 4, or one fretless and one fretted, but two identical basses on one body? Different tunings, I suppose that makes some sense...

 

Apparently, Tim doesn't go for 5's. Hey, if this will give him what he needs, I say "Go man, go!"

 

Same reason a dog licks his balls,..............




cuz he can.

 

Timmy is a pretty big dude too. Wonder if it bothers him. You know exactly how muc it weighs?

BTW, thanks for the pics. Never seen one, pretty damn cool!

 

I think we're missing the whole "novelty" aspect of the beast. Sure, you can make due with a 5 string, or play two separate basses, or any number of practical solutions for it.... but if you had the money, and were being paid well to put on a line of great shows for people........ why not have a custom made, however the hell you want it?

I think it's beautiful. Necessary? Maybe not... but there are plenty of basses that could be classified as "unnecessary" or "impractical" floating around TB as well.

Hi ho.

 

Sweet merciful CRAP that thing is SO COOL!!!

Tele-bass style headstock(s), precision neck-width(s), BLACK BLOCK INLAYS... Badass Bridge(s) cut off that second neck and I'd be in HEAVEN!

Wow. Gorgeous.
