I assure you, I have no idea who this seller is.
I've seen weirder stuff, but this is pretty weird. I guess this is for someone who plays guitar and bass at the same gig (at different times) but only has room for one case...?
It makes slightly more sense than a double neck guitar/bass, because it's smaller. A double-neck 6/12 makes sense, but I can't really see the sense in a guitar/bass. Anyway...

I wonder how it's set up - does it have a truss rod or doesn't it need one??

| Need a shot from the side. How do you fret the thing? Maybe there is, but it doesn't look like there's enough room between the necks for your hand and no way you can go around both of them. |

You need a unicycle to play it properly

Maybe they have one big truss rod to do both necks. No, that doesn't make any sense at all...but we're talking about people who came up with this nonsensical thing in the first place. |

Duane, you're right, I'm taking it too seriously

| He got the idea from the guy who was selling the multi-neck “rotisserie” steels on here a few years ago! |

Pretty cool should you decide you want to do a bass sola.

Wow, that's even weirder than I thought. It looks kind of like one of those things where the "why not" prevails over "why". For me, the ergonomic penalty would outweigh the benefits, which are.... 🤔 Yeah I guess I'd rather have a more traditional double-neck, rather than turning it over to get to the other side. |

On that note... Why don't (or didn't) I seem more 12/6 double necks with a trem on the 6? I would think that would usually be a given, for versatility's sake. They're already pretty big (I realize Steinberger has made them) so I think I'd want to get the most out of it, for the penalties. Of all the brands that didn't have a trem, I'm most surprised by BC Rich. Move over the active stuff and put a Kahler on that sucker...
