| 70s Jazz bass headstock - can I get a witness?
Sign in to disble this ad
Hi all,
am a complete newbie here and found the place via Google, so apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere. I am currently trying to build a bass which will end up looking like a 1970s Fender Jazz (actually a project I inherited from a friend who has jost lost interest in finishing it; but I like the big inlays and the binding!).
I am having trouble finding an accurate outline for the 70s headstock shape (the neck I have is one of those half-finished ones with a paddle-shaped headstock that you have to cut out yourself). There are photos aplenty of 70s jazz basses on the web, but it is difficult to be sure they are exactly side on, and scaling the picture to size is another issue.
Would anybody be able to point me in the right direction, or even be able to provide me with an accurate, properly-sized outline for a 70s jazz bass headstock? I would be most appreciative, as i have been struggling with this since I took on the project.
Thanks very much in advance, and I am looking forward to finishing the project - then I can start being a bass player!
Regards,
Strabo. |
