wayside Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi All, I'm new to this site. I've recently acquired 2 nice pieces of Alder and want to have a go a making a Jazz Bass from the early 1960's. Anyone out there know of a source for an accurate blue print so I can make some templates? Or if anyone local has one that I can measure, I'd be very greatful. I'm based near Hinckley Leicestershire Look forward to hearing from someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzBassFan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 hi mate. http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home-depot/169606-1960-jazzbass-build.html get in touch with him cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6v6 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There are a quite a few build threads on tdpri which sometimes include links to diagrams, e.g: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home-depot/267496-jazz-bass-plans-opinions-knowledge.html http://www.gitarrebassbau.de/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6&start=0 The Jazz bass PDF in that second link looks pretty accurate but I guess you may still need to compare with the real thing. You might also want to consider some ready made templates - from what I've read those from Ron Kirn seem well regarded but I've not (yet) tried them myself. http://ronkirntemplates.bigcartel.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hey Wayside, Welcome to hither. There's also ready made templates on eBay, from a seller called rockandroll-teez. Enjoy the site! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
