That first picture with different colour would be a stunning finish!
Looks like a well played bass. Would that have the sandwich construction or be solid body?
Semi hollow - wood frame w/masonite frt & back. The 1st pic is more how it actually looked - an off-white with copper burst. Dano was and still is the only brand to do that finish combo AFAIK. Being from the late '50s, it was probably one of the 1st double-necked guitar/basses. It would still be a good double-neck design today being light-weight and short-scale.

Too many pics top post - but worth checking out.

Good point. Most double-necks are very heavy.
