Ok so I'm thinking of building a 4 string bass from scratch, completely. I want it to be a neck-thru, fretted, and about the size of a P-bass or a Jazz bass because my current bass (Dean Metalman ML) is just wayyy to big to bring to lessons and bring places, and I want more variety in sound than mine has.
I'd like to make a 5pc neck for it (maple with 2 bloodwood stripes), flamed maple tops on the body wings (still deciding the woods for the wings), and have an ebony fingerboard.
I have made one attempt at building a guitar with a friend but we gave up on it as the stuff we bought was really crappy and we kinda lost hope.
So I want to know if anyone has any go pointers on the basics of building the 5pc neck. Like...well everything...lol
I read the neck building topic in the tutorials and wanted to know what major diffrences between building a 3pc guitar neck and building a 5pc bass neck...
Thanks to anyone who can interpret this jumble of questions and can help!!!
Ben
