Jazz bass beautie

TDPRI have pdfs that are printable at 1:1, and plans for jazz body but not the neck. There is however a plan for a 51 Pbass neck which would give you a basis to work from if you are confident enough to adjust the nut width and headstock shape.

Also a bunch of free plans available here

Most of the freely availble plans are for guitars - there is much less interest in bass building it would seem, so far less resources available in the public domain. Luthier forums are a good place to trawl for information, and there is plenty of discussion about period correct details for things like Les Pauls, but again basses not so much.

If you want a more complex set of plans with a higher level of detail, then you'll probably have to pay, but as you can get these in electronic format now, they are pretty cheap - here is the first couple that popped out of google, there are probably plenty of other choices.

IMHO when you consider the amount of money you will be spending on materials and tools, spending ~£10 on a decent set of detailed plans is a pretty good investment. Unfortunately I can't advise you whose plans are the best, but at least with the two suppliers I linked you can preview what you wil be paying for.
