Mike,
Thanks for the input. 7/8" is what I used and I did use a separate fretboard, but of course it was thinned down quite a bit. I even built one with 3/4" oak with a separate fingerboard. OAK, yeah I know, but I have a habit of trying what everyone says wont work. That red oak I used sounded as bright or brighter than ANY maple neck I have heard.
There are alot of things in Lutherie that I wanted to try, but I just didnt. I built a few neck thru's but never a bolt on neck. I tried a few bolt ons, but I just couldnt get it to go. After this neck thru bass I will have to try a bolt on neck guitar. Speaking of a bolt on, can anyone tell me where I can get some threaded ferrules for the neck bolts to put into the heel?
Thanks
