They sandwich a frame, on the early models frames were just plywood stapled together, think today it's glued poplar. Core of Danos is like this. The Reverend Rumblefish basses had a similar construction, although IIRC the central block ran the whole length of the body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodang Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Well, I'm assuming after 2 years the op has built the bass by now, but just in case there's been a bit of procrastination, my suggestion is walnut. Just had a jazz bass made from 'gunstock' walnut and it's my new fav wood of choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
