New Bass in Progress pt.7



The fingerboard is made of Wenge, which is a very hard material with a pronounced grain pattern. A centre line is marked with white pencil and will serve as the basis of all other measurements. The size at the nut will be 40mm and 60mm at the heel. I built a fingerboard jig so that all fret positions will be exactly straight relative to each other. This is a very simple jig, but cut accurately and extremely useful.
