GisserD Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I've been putting this project off for years... I purchased the neck and electronics in lockdown with the intention of making a body... Never happened. But I snagged a pre made body on ebay, that I plan to heavily modify for upper fret access and or reshape generally. Neck is from a Polish luthier i beleive...All norsdtrand electronics, Nordy MM in the bridge, nordy Jazz at the neck, Babicz bridge. Ash body. The plan is to stain/oil the bass only because i like the fifuring in the wood. ill try and source a small pieve of ebony yo make a controll plate. Ill be using laser scanning, 3D printing and my CAD design skills to help finnish this, so its likley that it will exist in the virtual domain long before the real one. Wish me luck 🙏 Edited November 16, 2022 by GisserD 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got room to move the bridge back to maintain the scale length if you are moving the neck pocket further into the body?

Cheers The body has been pre drilled for the string through, and it seems to work in that position for a 35" scale. scale length has been checked and verified.
