tele bass build

[cvanscott]

Hi all. I am wanting to build a telecaster style bass. The actual telecaster style body, not the precision telecaster, mind you. Think G&L Asat. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a set of plans or drawing off the body. I can't seem to come up with anything. Thanks!

You could scale this up easily enough:

I can help you draw up what you need if interested - I have a headless tele bass design I have been working on for a commission that can be modified for your use.

Thank you for the replies. How would one scale up an image to the proper size? I honestly wouldn't know what the proper size would be. I'm pretty novice at this, with the exception of a jazz bass I piece built with much help from a friend. I would definitely be interested in the help!

What I usually do is to bring the image into Inkscape and trace the image's outlines. You can use an image of a full bass with a neck to determine the proper dimensions based on the scale length of the instrument. PM me with your personal email and I can forward you the .svg for the following telecaster bass at a 34" scale length:
