Re: siamise double necks?

I'm pretty sure the custom shop will do anything you can dream up, as long as it isn't a gibby shape or some other trademarked body style. However, I don't think the headstocks on the doublenecks connect anymore, like the siamese ones did.
I have no idea about your bass question, though.

I don't think the custom shop will do siamese headstocks anymore. For no other reason then the necks 'cure' differently and each move in different directions, and the (paint) joint inevitably cracks. Sometimes the actual wood joints crack as well. Finding a doubleneck siamese is quite rare. Finding one that isn't cracked is even rarer. Although, for arguments sake, they stopped making Kellys with the cutouts in 1984 for finishing/quality reasons, but you can still get one custom made, today. By that reasoning, you may still be able to get one. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
