I thought you'd all get a kick out of this... my drummer's FIL built it and I finished the inside.

Neat! I have never seen a double-neck with two different fretboards before.

Other than that, what is the difference?

It's actually a pretty comfortable bass to play, bright and punchy with Fodera strings.
But, yeah, the bass in the case is pretty heavy.

The top neck is a piccolo bass on which I play some guitar/keyboard parts, i.e. the second
guitar part that comes in at the beginning of Journey's Stone in Love, then I use an A-B
switch to switch necks.

The headstocks are awesome! Are they painted, or laminated images? Beautiful bass!

They're vinyl stickers of Goya paintings. It was "my thing" when building Scream Basses. Thanks!

Hey Pete,

I finally dug mine out. Imagine a small car with a carrying handle! It was built by a good friend who owns a company called "Hot Rod Road Cases"

Hi Pete,

Yes and no on it being a Spector. Now the necks came from my friend PJ at Spector. He was full aware of my plans to build a double neck and I did send him pictures of the finished bass. I explained that because the necks will be Spector, I would build the body in the Spector style in the Spector method of construction. When I finished I did receive the approving thumbs up......so, long story longer.... Yes and no.
