  1. Thanks for the reply! I was thinking of using neck and pocket template and design my own body shape. I might just ask the local luthier who sells timber and stuff to make me 5 string jazz bass template. He did do custom templates we'll see. He also sells slotted fretboards so that gonna be good. I will probably just using the j-bass shape and do some contours on the body and heel joint to make it more modern.
  2. Hi! So, I've been thinking of building a electric bass and was wondering where to start. I pretty much have all the tools I need to build a bass. Here are the options I can think of: 4-string Jazz bass: + Easy + Can find templates easily - Kinda basic and meh 5-string Jazz bass: + Quite easy to build + 5 string is a plus -+ Templates kinda hard to find 5 or 6-string bass, neck thru: + good playability + good looks - Hard to build(?) - No templates -designing it is gonna be hard. - finding blanks long enough is hard where I live. Also if I do end up doing the neck thru, do I need to do laminate neck or will 1-piece maple neck be enough?
