bluespresence Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I think the best thing to do is go to your local music shop with a tape measure....play a bunch of basses and decide which ones fit you best. Measure them out and make yours aorund the dimensions you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 i second that, when i was thinking of building a guitar a few years ago, i took a pad of paper, a pencil and a tailors tape, and played a few guitars, mesured the waist, horns, butt, that kinda stuff, wrote it all down, sometimes i would do a little sketch of the stuff and go from there.... Good luck with it Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I did the same thing when measuring nut sizes, neck thicknesses & tapers, and string spacing on some basses, brought a digital caliper and a notepad, spent about an hour at my local music shop. It was quite the conversation starter when the guys found out I was intending to build a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
