Oh my God,that would be heavy! Interesting idea,anyone seen Yes bassist Chris Squires triple neck Wal,that bass is something of a legend,i think it was given to him by Roger Newell who was the bass player from Rick Wakemans English Rock Ensemble.... |

Chris has used that Wal on every tour I've seen since I moved to Scotland 10 years ago. Only for one song mind you - 'Awaken'. i doubt if he'd be able to straighten up if he used it for more than that ;-) Graeme |

Actually, the one that Chris Squire plays now is a replica (made in Japan?) - the original is at a Hard Rock Cafe: http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/specs3.html (scroll down a bit) |

I remember reading somewhere that Rick Wakemen had the bass built for Roger and was subsequently given to Chris from Rick himself. Roger was quite upset about this from what I gathered in the article. |

Oh yes, that bass should be dubbed the "Crippler" |

Here is a slightly different take on my previous design. Also a rendering with the profile of the Double Dragonwing, for size.
