It took me a while to complete this project but it is finally done. The body itself was built in 1986 by Kremer Guitar works out of Illinois. I originally put some cheaper necks on it to test it out but it is now complete with a 2005 Pre bass and 2008 Fender Strat. I put custom pickup for the guitar (Seymour hot stacks) and some other custom goodies but tried to keep it the way Fender would have built it if they ever made such a beast.

Now - does anyone know where I can buy a road case that is at least 18" inside wide by 48" inside long? I want a road case as we travel often.

Also - want to invite anyone down to 330 Ritch Club in San Francisco, CA this Monday,. Nov 17. It's a free gig and we hit the stage at 10:00 PM.

Nice job! I used this Gator case

http://www.gatorcases.com/productsmodel ... 114&MID=87

for my Warmoth/Fender doubleneck. The case comes with foam blocks to make the case fit some popular "extreme" shapes, but of course I had to make my own foam inserts to fit my doubleneck's body.

Did you ever see the pictures of David Gilmour's doubleneck from 1972?

Are you a bassist who plays back-up guitar, or a guitarist that plays back-up bass? Looks cool. Have fun.

I actually can't remember if I got proficient on bass or guitar first. I am a real bass player though, not a guitar player who just plays the root. My bass style is sort of Flea meets Steve Harris with some grunge underpinnings. The bass lines for songs like Let Me Behttp://www.mix2r.com/node/676 which have bass solos at the end illustrate this style.

@ previous post - thanks for lead on case. Will try to contact.

Here's a pic of my doubleneck in that Gator case.

I had to modify the case a bit. Of course, it came made to handle a single neck instrument, with just one "neck pocket" in the center of the middle brace. I had to remanufacture it to have two off-center pockets to hold the two necks. And I had to make my own "form fit foam."

It could be a close fit for your bass/guitar thing, but it might work angled slightly, or something.

The Fender Custom Shop has made a few such beasts.

This is not a Custom Shop item, however. I got the body and some parts from Warmoth (they did a great job, as you can see) and I used two Fender MIM maple necks to put it together in the spring of 2007. The pickups are vintage Fender (with the exception of one very old DiMarzio Fat Strat pickup).

Also check out this interesting thread:

Yeah, as you can see, the case is quite long, way longer than I needed, but it was the only thing I could find that would work with that width.

Here's your picture. I'm not sure why that URL didn't work for you. Do you only have one pickup on the guitar neck?
