By the way, Petruz, I have seen these twins pretty often and as a matter of fact I own two myself; I have both this cherry version as well as the ivory white one (which has gold coloured hardware). The bass-section is not to good (in fact: pretty lousy because of the short scale and old fashioned because of the pickup configuration), but the guitar section ain't so bad. Overall the instrument is pretty hard to handle an inconvenient. I think it should be seen more like a gimmick.

There is a 3-way switch to choose which section you want to use. So you'll have to use a split box to be able to send the signal either to a guitar amp or a bass amp. Harry
