Need a '51 P Bass Template!!

[Stevoshsb]

I am planning my first build after being glued to this section of talkbass for around 6 months. I was thinking along the lines of a '51 Precision Bass and was wondering if anyone on here had like a .pdf template or CAD file of one that I could use to practice on some wood that won't matter!

If you can offer any advice on this I would be very grateful!

These are real size?when printed?

Hi, I have this doubt. Is the file real size?

Based on the drawing size, I'd say they are 1:1. That said, printers and print places don't always scale correctly, so I'd be prepared to print a test size and have a ruler with you to compare to a known dimension, like neck pocket width. You may have to scale it up or down a touch. Tagging @Gilmourisgod as he's much more knowledgeable about such things.

Ok.

If it’s a standard 34” P bass scale neck, the nut width should be 1-5/8”, and the distance from inside face of nut to center of 12th fret should be exactly 17”. If you have it printed someplace like Kinko or Staples, tell them you want it 1:1, but check it before you pay for it! It might look close at “scale to fit paper size”, but close is not good enough on a neck. I always put a graphic scale on my drawings to check against, or a 1” x1” grid.

I'm thinking about buying the neck in all parts and having the body made to the neck measurements.

Until what year was the "telecaster bass" manufactured? and have there been changes in the shape of the body?
