travismoore Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I was wondering if any one knew where i could find some instructions for making a 4 string wenge bass through neck? Pictures would be nice if possible =) Thanks for any help given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Any neckthrough bass plans will work. Check out MIMF.com. They sell various guitar plans for a good price. I think I payed $15 for my bass plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattia Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Get Melvyn Hiscock's 'Make Your Own Electric Guitar' (that's a book), has a ton of general building information, as well as details on building a neck-through bass which should help a lot. That book is an essential tool for beginners, IMO. Priceless. Other than that, isn't there a pinned neck-through bass tutorial/in-progress thread somewhere here? The wood used isn't really germane to basic contruction methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one got any ideas on design because im not shore at all yet what i want? Get the book; for me, the heart of the thing is the chapter on design, taking you through it all step by step. Ultimately, it's your guitar. Build what you want to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismoore Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Cool thanks So even though it says electric guitar it will go through bass stuff as well? Edited May 6, 2006 by travismoore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 The book has three different instruments in it: a set-neck guitar, a bolt-on guitar, and a neck-through 8-string bass. The construction principles for a guitar and a bass, however, are essentially the same, the only real differences being the scale length and dimensions.
