MKGBass Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Wes I believe the "it" in how much did it cost referred to the woods in the neck. Antecedants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 well i really don't know..i bought it in large quantities...if i had to guess i would say about $20 for the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 ...if i had to guess i would say about $20 for the woods The cost of woods in the bass I'm making was about $200! i am talking about just the neck itself...add another $20 or so for the body.. the alder was $3 a bf...the honduran mahogany $8,and the walnut about $8(all bf) the maple for the top was $23 a bf wood is just not all that expensive if you buy it from a cabinet shop in full boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
