Does anybody know which songs Bob Welch played double neck guitar on? He's frequently pictured with one, but I have yet to see any videos of him using the instrument.

Define frequently.

Because I've never seen that.

He played it on Hotel Benefolds.

I remember seeing images of him with the double neck guitar on at least one of his obituaries back in 2012, including this one right here.

Here's another photo of Welch with a double neck guitar and Mick Fleetwood with a talking drum

Well, Mick used the talking drum on Night Watch—live and in the studio. And I always suspected those pics were of Bob playing that tune. But who knows?

That makes sense.

I legit wonder if it was the same one as this:

In fact, I’ve wondered if Lindsey used the same amp rig as Bob did prior to leaving. Like, was the rig maybe owned by the band?

I always thought the rig was the band's too. Like they stored their stuff and pulled it out for the 1974/5 White album recording.
