That makes absolutely no sense. It would take the same time to rout out a big section as it would for the pickups. Then they'd be back with the router when the top was added. Been a carpenter 35 years,the MDF pieces would be a huge waste of time and money.

They didn't use MDF. I was talking about the possibility of this bass using a similar construction to that of the 70s Gibsons. I was just using Gibson as an example of another manufacturer doing a similar thing (except without the MDF). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
