Here's another intriguing one-off from Ergo Instruments, who normally specialise in upright electric basses (we've previously looked at a couple of their guitars based on Prince's Cloud design).
It's a doubleneck bass guitar with fretted and fretless necks. Also, the fretless neck is strung as an 8-string bass (i.e. four doubled courses with octave strings), which surprised me as I would have expected the fretted neck to be the 8-stringer.
The necks are of hard maple/figured bubinga, and the body is 3-piece hard maple, thinner than usual so as to keep the weight down. Pickups are P-bass units by Dragonfire.
Currently listed on eBay with a stating bid of £999.
