Want To Begin My Neck Thru

[Moreau]

Hi there,

I want to start a neck thru bass, and was curious if i needed quartersawn or flat sawn. Am i best to just buy a maple blank and cut it? Or should I buy boards?

I want to have it Maple/Purpleheart/Maple/Purpleheart/Maple. So do I use flat sawn and turn it on its side, or do I use quartersawn and but it to strips? Thanks for helping out.

Buy flatsawn and turn it on its side. Most people do that for multiple laminated neck-through's
