sofison Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi guys This is my 1st post on the forum. I am watching the posts for a year now and I must say this is one of the most interesting forums on the net. So I am planning to do a solid body bass guitar for a friend and I am wondering what is the best scarf joint angle. The bass is gonna be a 5 string neck through body Any opinions are welcome.

WezV Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 more than 10, less than 17. cant go wrong with 13.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 more than 10, less than 17. cant go wrong with 13.5 Wait, he said a 5 string bass. Didn't you mean 13.3? I'm assuming, of course, that he'll be using round wound strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I use 12.4...since 12 and 4 are my lucky numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juntunen Guitars Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I use 13 or 15. I don't think there is really one "correct" angle to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofison Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thank you guys for your replies. I think the 13 degree is the one I am going to do. I surely don't believe there is a "correct" angle I am just searching for the most common (may I say) under these features. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
