Ask Ron....z.guitarfreak wrote:patrice, could you tell us some basic ideas of the bumblefoot doubleneck?
That sounds like a crossover between the Stick, which has separate outputs for the bass and treble strings and Paul Gilbert's double neck, which has a regular six string neck and one with only three strings, all octaves of E.z.guitarfreak wrote:What about a double neck with each neck having 3 strings?The neck having the 1st to 3rd strings is dedicated mostly to lead playing, thus it has the 13rd to 24th frets and a Floyd Rose trem, while the other neck having the 3 heavy strings has the 1st to 12nd frets, a fixed bridge AND a locking nut for solid rhythms.
The pickups for each neck have independent output jacks so they can be plugged into different amps which are set to lead and rhythm tones respectively. And if you are a fretless player, guess what, both necks have a half that fit you too!
I guess it would also matter if it had two regular six string necks, only with one of them having just three strings, or if it had a regular six string neck and and a neck designed for three strings (so you won't be able to string it like a normal guitar).The first one, like the Gilbert double neck, might not do so bad, although a fretless second neck is of course much cooler.z.guitarfreak wrote:yeah, i kind of thought the same with the pablo thingy, BUT how many are going to buy that?
Do you have some videos of you playing on your surfretter ?z.guitarfreak wrote:Allo Patrice, I do hope you make the fretted/fretless a production model. If the fretted neck were scalloped this would be even better. At this stage, im heavily in the design process of having to get something custom built and may have to use the Surfreter neck, since you currently don't do custom projects :)I love my surfreter so much, its the only guitar i play now ( other instruments are sarod and oud) - I am all fretless, all the time :)
