Electric Bass Guitar.. #2: Contouring... or shaping the body...

Looking good Larry.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Nice one Larry. The blue one looks like a Fender Precision Bass copy, a Fender Jazz Bass has a shorter thinner neck for faster action. Although the made body styles maybe different, the mechanics of it all are Fender influenced.
Glad you have the chance to learn how to make one and also help out the guy, but honestly Larry, I don’t see you in a group. :-)

I see a great sounding guitar in that piece of wood you are crafting. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds.

That’s really looking SUPER GOOD!

I think you’ve found a New field for your woodworking!

Are you sure about possible Patent infringements? You don’t want to get into a bunch of legal BS…
