Hi, I' not big on tunings although I do use a few. However it will help others if you give an idea of the string configuration's you plan to use, eg: 3-3, 3-4, 3-6, 4-6 etc.

Cheers Taff

Your question, is a double edged sword, lol. Lots of ways to go. One would be a bass, probably 2 stringer, and then maybe a standard 4 string. Then if your recording, you would have both at hand.

Thank's Boys. I'm thinking about 4string open G and open F ...can be a nice combination.

 I'm with Keith on this. (On most things, it seems) "No rules!" Seems to be the battle-cry around here. I whole-heartedly agree. So many rules everywhere else, this is refreshing. My main suggestion, - Have fun!

One tuned GDG with strings 3,4,5 & one tuned GDB with strings 2,3,4? Norbert, you virtually opened up a huge can of worms with a double neck, I have built a few Bass/Guitar & even Diddley bow double neckers, so really no rules & sky’s the limit. Go for it, I’m sure it will sound great no matter what you decide :)

You could also do a double GDG tuning & put Dulcimer gauge strings on one neck?

If 4 string, you can set up one neck with the bigger strings for a warm tone & the other with the smaller brighter strings?
