"Let us say that you take the easy way and buy the neck and scroll 'ready made'. If you do this you will always have the feeling that you cheated in the construction and when asked if you really made the instrument you would be obliged to say, 'well, all except the neck and scroll.'" —H. S. Wake, To Make a Double Bass
This obscure and helpful book was a birthday gift from the Champaign Carty clan—thanks guys!
I'm 40 hours into my Rocket 88 (electric upright bass) build—23 hours of planning and 17 hours building. That's 40 hours over the course of 3 months, so you could say I'm taking my time. As you can see in my clamped up mockup I'm starting to practice my new upright moves.
