I need them to be long enough for a 34" to 35" multiscale six string bass neck. I've been having the worst time finding wood for this considering the only suppliers in my area carry pine or cedar, and online I can't find anything big/wide enough at the right price. It's my first commission, but it is for a friend, so he's not worried as far as time goes, and, I told him he could just pay me for wood/parts as they come along in the build, so he's happy about that as far as his wallet goes.
