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 ;-)

Actually, the one that Chris Squire plays now is a replica (made in Japan?) - the original is at a Hard Rock Cafe:

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.
