Something you don't see everyday

[75Ric]

I wonder what that would weigh? Anyone know? I'm thinking everything is pretty much doubled, so about double the weight?

I missed those pictures, I see the control routing now.

I’ve hefted (briefly) a double neck just to see how it felt. Put it right down and stepped away. Huge heavy and a neck diver. Wait, a synchronized neck diver! Winner of the lead medal.

...(Paul Bigsby comes to mind).

I'm guessing that's 33-50% of the total production of that particular SKU.

I'd guess the market size for that would be 1 or 2 copies; if they made 3, then this thing will literally never sell, unless the price gets down to firewood value.

I dig it.

PJs weren’t very common in the late 70s, and with it being a lefty double guitar/bass- I would guess this was from the 80s.

I don't think it is a guitar / bass. I think it is dual basses in one unit. The scale lengths appear to be identical based on bridge holes and neck pocket distances. Unusual to be sure. I guess it gives new meaning to 'P/J'!

I had assumed the three pickups were something along the lines of a Strat without an angled one. If it’s for three Js in a row then it’s super weird indeed.

That would make a rad coffee table, provided it would build up to no more than 16 lbs.
I have a strict upper weight limit on my tables.

 

[Fender_Bender]

Question to seller; When fully fitted out, will it weigh less than 7lbs?

More like 7 kilograms.

 

[dbsfgyd1]

You’re right. I’ve never seen one.

 

[Jughead6]

The corners of the routes look very rounded / large radius, like they've used a router bit one size too large.

Good start to a Jaco Jamerson Tribute lefty 2-fer...

 

[BlueTalon]

I can’t think of a single negative to 3 J pickups!

I agree!

You can see the control cavities from the back. They just haven’t been drilled yet for the controls. Although it’s a bit beaten up, it doesn’t look like the body’s been used.

No pickup mounting screw holes.

Hey!

Neither of those, above, instruments were made bu Rickenbacker, but by custom builders of their respective era.

Well, kinda. The rics in the 2nd pic are real, just they were 2 separate instruments at birth, before the surgery that combined them. Real ric doubles have the bass on top.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Nice a Spinal Tap special, at least one of the basses will have 3 pickups.

Big Bottom special!

The one in the first photo was made from real Rick parts and necks, just a custom made body and knobs (and a few other bits and pieces) are not Rick parts, IIRC. Some of the body sections may be real Rick parts, too.

It is bewildering to many a Rick aficionado as to why the 4080 series had the bass on the top.

 

[vid1900]

If that was RH body, I'd buy it in a second.

Just to have something so dumb and fun.

Interesting that there are no controls. Hmmm well could make and interesting project.
