Jazz Bass Body Dimensions

you'll be fine if the usable dimensions of your body blank exceed

20.5" length
13.5" width
1.75" thick

do note that the lower half of the body needs 7" minimum width, as this is not a symmetrical design. if you are purchasing a bookmatched set, or a 2-piece body blank, and you want the glue line to be coincident with the neck centerline you will need a 14" width

all the best,

R
