Members poomwah Posted December 26, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 Yup, once I decide on what kind of wood I'm going to use, I will make new "wings" for it any reason for this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members solderjunkie Posted December 26, 2009 Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 Yup, once I decide on what kind of wood I'm going to use, I will make new "wings" for it If I was going to do that project, that is the exact beginning I would have chosen. Way to bandsaw that {censored}er:thu: Keep the old wings... if you don't like the new project, you can strip the finish and put them back on with some rosewood stringers.

NICE idea, I hadn't thought of that. I was actually thinking of hanging one of the wings with the cut edge against the wall, then cutting an old head stock and hanging it a couple feet above the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkstorm Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 I dont understand why you cut it up. Your not going to get a neck thru with wings of whatever wood, sound by cutting up a bolt on body. Itd of been better to make a new body if wanted diff wood for it.

Members bassman1956 Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Good luck!Are you changing the shape of the wings much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poomwah Posted December 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 If I was going for a neck thru thing, I would have gone neck thru.I had a solid bass for my project, this way I don't have to buy parts, and I don't have to do any routing. I could have sold the bass, but buying a neck and pickups alone would cost more than I could have got from selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poomwah Posted December 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Good luck!Are you changing the shape of the wings much? Thanks bassman.

Members Renfield Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 And I think the reason behind sawing off the ends of a bolt on instead of making a new body is convenience. It's easier to cut 2 end caps when you are making a specific body shape, and then attach them than it is to make a whole new body, with pup, bridge and cavity routs to deal with. I'd do it this way myself if I had a sacrificial lamb to work from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
