Emmleech Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 You have my permission to come and shoot me if this sounds ridiculous only messing. So it it possible to modify a 6 string into a 3/4 or even smaller bass guitar if I swaped out all the nessessary parts ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm sure there is someone..................... out on eBay who would do a conversion for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 New nut, bridge, tuners at the very least and I could imagine intonation issues? Interesting thought tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Possible in theory but I cant imagine any circumstances under which this would be a good idea in practical/cost terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 or just buy a warmoth tele baritone neck and bridge and use it as a short scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Chris Squire took the top neck of bass ( originally a guitar) and turned it into a double course three string bass... very short scale and tuned A-G Edited September 28, 2016 by TrevorR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmleech Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 I just want to try and make one of it is possible. I get more enjoyment of an instrument I build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 You could take the Presidents of the United States of America route. Chris Ballew converts Epiphone guitars into two string basses ('Bassitar') tuned to C#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
