I made a bass out of a Torano box, and it is a 34" scale. I turned two 1x2s on their sides and laminated them together. I just cut the neck and made the heel part of the neck stock. It is a neck through design, so far it seems strong enough without using a truss rod.

so.. here it is , still in the experimental stages. I like to leave things unfinished to see what happens; where the weak points are, what to change etc.

the bridge is rough, needs remaking. there's no nut; just guiding screws. I want a curved fingerboard eventually.. lotsa stuff.

sounds fantastic when i slide a note though, and that's what matters
