ok....i have this old kent bass that has a very nice, mellow tone... and i would like to turn it into an electric upright. I want to change the neck to a 42 inch fretless, add a piezo bridge and a metal stand and reshape the body...is this REMOTELY POSSIBLE????
Anything's possible. I don't see why though? What could you salvage from your current bass? You'll be replacing the body, bridge, and neck... Maybe keep some wiring?
nope, i will be RESHAPING the body, it has pretty good tone and resonance...i would be replacing the bridge and neck...
reshaping the body and changing the neck are going to completely change the "resonance" that you say you like in the instrument in the first place, not to mention changing the bridge and pickups. idle hands are the devil's workshop sounds like you need a project
in answer to your question, YES you are completely nuts. doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. but it sounds nuts. To much work for me.
