<p>Nice build Taff. Like the details on this one. My bass was a stand up, it hit all kinds of things!</p>
<p>Tim, for a two stringer, you can rotate the 1x2 and make it narrower and deeper, carve it round to 1 1/4" or so. As it is narrow it still fits the hand ok. This also lets you cut the relief for the tuners easily.</p>

<p>Hi Tim, re reinforcing neck. It would depend on a number of things, for example: grain orientation of the neck timber and fingerboard (is it quarter sawn?) I go through the rack and only buy the stuff sawn on the quarter. How long the scale, this bass is 34" and how deep the neck is. </p>
<p>With this neck I left the sides square so as not to remove too much wood.</p>
<p>lf I was building a neck I would consider a reinforcing bar, if all of the above was not in place.</p>
<p>I don't know it…</p>

<p>very nice!! now i want to make one... almost got enough room in the shed to get in it..lol </p>
<p>fret wire turned up in the mail, got some Tassie oak for a neck and a separate 8mm fingerboard.. would i need to reinforce the neck for a 2 string bass??</p>
