I am makeing a seven string bass. i have one problem i have no way of sloting the fret board. i was hopeing someone would be willing to make me one. please let me know if any of u would be able to help me out.

Buy a fret slotting saw?

If you are to the point where this is what you need to progress, its probably worth the cost to be able to slot your own fretboards, especially if you've already made it that far.

You can make this jig for your fret slotting

Yes, I vote for fretting saw, but there are fretting methods that don't need this tight slots, so you can use a normal metal saw (if you're gluing the frets with epoxy... I never used this process, and don't want to, but it may work for you)

thank you for sending me that link, i was planing on buy a jig allready. but none of them would of worked on this size of a finger board.

...my pleasure :)

i dont feel id be able to do a good enough job on a home made jig, so i gonna hope some one would be willing to make me this finger board. when i get some money ill buy a jig and machine it so it will work on wider then 4 string string finger boards or ill buy a billet and machine one at work.


as a side note i made a jig out of scrap today, for cutting the angle on the neck/head stock. if any one like to see pics ill try to post.
