The more adventurous bassist might consider whether to get a fretted or fretless bass. One person came up with a solution by asking, \u201cWhy not both?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This Duo Oasis double neck by MG Bass Guitars sports both a fretted fingerboard and a fretless fingerboard to offer the best of both worlds. We reached out to luthier Mauricio Costa for the scoop. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis instrument was a custom build,\u201d the builder explains. \u201cIt has a PurpleHeart top and Mahogany body. We use Bartolini electronics and connect a 3-way switch that allows you to play on both necks at the same time or not (fantastic for using loops). Despite looking like a \u2018big\u2019 instrument, this instrument was designed to weigh less than a popular 6-string\u2026 around 9 pounds. This is fantastic because you don\u2019t have to play sitting down to use this incredible instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>MG Bass Guitar Duo Oasis Double Neck Photos:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MG-Bass-Guitar-Double-Neck-Body-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MG-Bass-Guitar-Double-Neck-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MG-Bass-Guitar-Double-Neck-Body-Back-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MG-Bass-Guitar-Double-Neck-Back-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re looking at basses, there are plenty of aspects to think about.
