Something like

\new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #1
                   \omit Clef
                   \omit KeySignature
                   \omit TimeSignature
                   \omit LedgerLineSpanner
                   \omit BarLine
                   instrumentName = \markup \column { Gtr Bas }
                 }
<< { \stemUp r4 r r d'' } \\ { \stemDown g'4 r8 g' g'4 r } >>

would appear to do the trick.  You can use that inside of a \score
markup if necessary.  You have to see just which of the omitted material
you'd rather have.
