Look for Plans for D'Angelico/D'Aquisto New Yorkers and such. Then adjust for a bass neck and scale, the bodies are the same type of thing.

I fell in love with the look of the Takamine TB10, so I've started building an archtop bass guitar. From what I have been able to determine, the TB10 body is similar in size to the Benedetto guitars that are expalined in great detail in his book on Building an Archtop Guitar (around 26$ on Amazon.com). So all that remains is to stretch the neck to 34-inch BG neck size. It will be a lot of work, and I am very slow so I won't be posting anything on Talkbass, but I believe that it will be very interesting to see the result.

You could look into doing something like this too!
