The Crusher

Hi Jabba, A friend asked me today if I could make him a 5 string short scale bass. I've successfully made a few 6 string custom bodies but no bass' yet. I've got everthing I need to build 6 string fret boards, including a nifty heavy steel slotting template from Stew Mac for 25 inch and 25.5 inch scale. I use this with a crosscut sled on my table saw. Please help if you can. How are you cutting your 27 inch scale fret board? Thank you in advance, Matt
