Why?

To prove that it can be done.

Or drive the hardshell case makers crazy.

So stores only have to pay one shipping charge for two floor demo models?

For bass teachers who only want to deal with one instrument and no amp.

Alternate tunings in different sections of the same song can be played live.

People with lots of money like to own unique things.

Sympathetic string vibrations can make doublenecks 35% cooler sounding, if you write the song with this in mind.

More space inside for smuggling contraband.

Way more real estate for stickers.

To hide behind.

To show off.


I could keep going, but my post-gig beers aren't going to get drinked with all this typing.
The best answer to "Why?" is "Why Not?"
