Please post a pic of your solid boddied violin bass.Ihave a 30" neck and looking to make a smallish body for my grandson and thought a violin sytyle body would be cool.

I don't have one, but there's a brazilian brand called "Condor" that makes solid body violin basses that sound really good.

And they're cheap.

Dunno if Bud would make a 30-inch scale, but he might.

That's the prettiest bass on TB. Too many strings, but beautiful.

Do you really want a solid body violin body bass? The Hofner and Hofner clones are all hollow body. You can find many of these out there, some are really inexpensive, so it would be easier to purchase than build.

I have a Dillion Beatle Bass with Roto's on it that's been sitting in it's hardcase for the last 10 years.....haven't been using it......might as well sell it....I didn't use it much and never even gigged it.....it has a solid block in the middle and could be compared to the Contemporary model......

1969 Gibson EB-1 in original case with Dimarzio Model One pickup added.

When I think "Solid body violin bass," the first thing that comes to mind is the Gibson EB-1. Cool bass, though I hear it's heavy as hell.

[sanderic]

Not heavy at all. The lightest bass in my collection.
