Check out this '78 double-neck for sale at a miserable 9,995 USD -http://www.gguitars.com/al781000.html
 
Wonder what's the story behind the sale - it certainly looks like the owner has taken really great care of it.

That bass was for sale just a few months ago for 12K.  I think someone identified it at the time as the John Judge bass.  I wonder what it'll be going for by this summer?
It must weigh 20lbs.  If I had the extra money laying around I'd be tempted to buy it just for the uniqueness.

I heard sometime in the past that the 8 string headstock was broken off and repaired on this puppy. If you look carefully, it appears to be true.
