Hi im new to this site and i was wondering if anyone has any plans or templates for building bass guitar bodies?
Ive built a bass many years ago but my son has got into my status washburn 1000 and is now quizin me about fretless.
I have a precision fretless neck and i want to build a body of some sort.

I was wanting to know if anyone has any templates for router or if anyone can poin me in the right direction for one, even if they are PDF. Any help would be very welcome

I have all the hardware, neck, kent armstrong soap bars x 2, pots and bridge.

CAN ANYONE HELP??

Regards Alan.

This Australian Ebay seller has plans, I have no idea if they are any good or not as I don't know anyone who has used them, might be worth a try though.

If you want to build a precision body to go with the precision neck, this guy has some quality templates for sale.

the bass plans are further down towards the bottom, I've used the P bass plans which are named "comparison" and the headstock one too.
Just print them off, piece it together like a jigsaw and then stick it to some mdf or ply and sand it to shape

good luck

I've just bought plans from, http://www.johnanthonyguitars.com. They're available either directly or via ebay and are full size. You could cut out the various bits, glue them to whatever wood takes your fancy and make your own templates. I think they're not bad value at £9.99 a plan and £3.20 total postage. I tried the Australian plans but they don't post to the UK and they're a tad expensive in my opinion.
