laci Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi there, I'm just wondering what's the right process to attach an electric bass neck to an acoustic body or if it's even possible by the way? Thanks! Laci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Anything is possible with the correct tools and skills, that's not to say it'll be worthwhile. What is it you're trying to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Buy a Fender Kingman. That's a jazz neck on an acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you just mean any old acoustic body then the body top is likely to snap to bits when you tune it all up. The internal bracing needs to be designed right for the string tension when in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 As fretmeister says, an acoustic body is likely to break. It would require additional bracing to support the electric neck and that would mean taking it to bits - which probably wouldn't end in a good way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
