New Quilted Maple Electric Guitar With Double Neck Bass Review

New Quilted Maple Electric Guitar With Double Neck Bass
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I took a chance buying this guitar without having tried it out first. I do enjoy playing it. I like being able to switch back and forth from guitar to bass. The action on the bass is pretty good. The guitar neck is not as easy to play as some of my other guitars, but it's not that bad. I may have to make some slight adjustments on the guitar part. The guitar is on the heavy side and may put some stress on your back. I can play pretty good with it sitting down, but standing up with it is a little more awkward because I find that the guitar neck is uncomfortably low. I think if I find a good strap for it and position the guitar a little higher it will help. My only criticism of it is that the necks are kind of close together and my wrist bumps into the tuning keys of the guitar when I play the bass. I doubt I could do a whole show with it because of how heavy it is. For the price, it's really not bad.

Dean Edge 6 String Bass Trans Amberburst Review

Dean Edge 6 String Bass Trans Amberburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love my Dean Edge 6. But I can't play it. And I can't get strings for it.
It's a beautiful instrument. The fit and finish is quite good for the price. It sounds great.
An accomplished bassist recommended that I get a six string. That was a HUGE mistake. This bass is a monster, and is no good for learning to play.
The biggest problem, however, is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get strings for this thing. All of the "Extra Long Scale" strings that I have tried begin to taper just shy of the nut. I contacted Dean and they told me that they string the bass with bulk D'Addario strings and that they couldn't recommend any set that I could buy. They suggested that I visit the nearest dealer . . . 600 miles away.
So, the instrument is terrific, Dean's customer service is WORTHLESS.

An Exception To The Rule- It is often said the "beauty is skin deep". The Dean Edge Bass is clearly the exception to the rule! While beauty was the inspiration of the Dean Edge, we put every bit of our 20 plus years of design experience into these models. We started with a body styled and contoured for comfort and the choice basswood to make them lighter. The maple necks were profiled to be faster and sleeker than virtually all other. We designed a "uniquely Dean" custom neck joint and heel along with our asymmetrical 4 bolt pattern creating uninterrupted access all the way up the two octave neck. The Edge Bass is offered in four, five,six and eight string models.

It is made in Korea, but there is nothing to complain about it, the quality and attention to details is really outstanding.

With its specially designed super-shallow composite body-a favorite of stage performers-ovation's celebrity doubleneck combines 6- and 12-string guitars into a single, easy-to-play instrument. with a figured maple top and matched, lightweight bracing that's designed to enhance punch and projection, this guitar covers all the bases. ovation's pioneering multi-soundhole design enhances string vibration and sustain by improving soundboard efficiency. both slim necks are easy to play, and twin cutaways insure easy access to the either fretboard. the op-24+ preamp has 3-band eq with the option to select 400 hz or 1 khz as the middle-band frequency, and a pre-shape circuit reduces rumble from frequencies below 40 hz that can trigger feedback. a 3-way toggle switch allows players to quickly shift between 6- to 12-string pickups, or use a combination of both.

Double Neck - 4 String Bass & 6 String Guitar Review

Double Neck - 4 String Bass and 6 String Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I play in a trio situation: There is a keyboard-player and a drummer and I play bass and sing most of the time and I play guitar on some of the songs (guitar solos are supposed to excite the audience). When I play guitar, the keyboard-player takes over for bass with his left hand (cool!). Until now, it was a drag switching from bass to guitar in the middle of a song. So I searched the internet for a double-neck bass guitar. And I found this instrument. For a price, I couldn't believe (mine was even cheaper than this one, but as I live in Europe, so I had to pay customs).
I received this instrument via mail a couple of days ago and it is great! I read a review before buying it where somebody complained that it's so heavy, so I put it on my scales immediately. 5 kg = 10 pounds - that's just a little more than the average Gibson Les Paul and even less than the Fender Telecaster Deluxe I had in the early 80s (the one with the humbuckers). It is pretty well manufactured - well, I'll ask my guitar repair guy in a couple of days and he always finds something to complain about. For me as a player, it appears to be well done and it feels good to play. The sound of both the guitar and the bass is certainly not the best I ever heard, but better than average. The audience won't notice the difference to my other instruments. Action is very low (I adore) and every part of the instrument is easy to play. No string buzzing anywhere. 24 frets on both necks - great! The tremolo works very well and I haven't managed to detune the guitar with it so far.
There are a few drawbacks though: If you want to play the bass with your thumb behind the neck ('comme-il-faut'), then there is no way going lower than third fret, because the machine heads of the guitar neck are in the way. On frets 2, 1 and in open position, you have to play the bass "from the fist". If the angle between the two necks was just this tiny little bit bigger, it would work. No problem for me though.
Both necks send their sound to one socket. Hmmm. The guitar doesn't sound too good over the bass amp and the bass has the power to blast the speaker of my guitar amp. 'Been there, done that ...' - I am thinking of building a Roland GK-3 into the guitar part and using the VG-99 (guitar modeling and guitar synthesizer) to turn this instrument into the Ultimate-I-Can-Play-Any-Sound-Instrument and solve this problem. My budget is a bit reluctant to the idea.
I wish there was a 'manual' or even just a little sheet explaining the function of those knobs. Spent some time, but I'm still not sure about all the functions.
So far I tested the instrument in the following situations, trying to switch quickly from bass to guitar and vice versa:
Blues (great!), Blues Rock (cool), Metal (well, some Lemmy on the bass part doesn't hurt, but I prefer bass without distortion - that's a bit of 'technical stress': switching to the other neck, putting away the pick, stepping on the effect-pedal. I'll manage!), Jazz (Bebop to Fusion - the bass sound will need some adjusting for Walking-Bass), Funk (wow - slapping is great with this bass! And the guitar can produce some very funky sounds), Country (cool). It took me a few moments to get adjusted, but I soon felt very comfortable in all these situations and I liked the sound. If you play both guitar and bass, it's not as if you had to learn a new instrument.
The reactions of my friends show me that it's a real eye-catcher! Very good for promo. Ask Jimmy Page about it (with his 12-String, 6-String Double Neck Guitar).
I love this instrument and I'm looking forward to my first gig with it. I won't play it all the time though - only where I need to switch.
