I wanna make my own bass guitar, but I have no experience in making an instrument, only playing them. I wanna make my own kit and customize it the way I want. Does anyone know how to make one?

you can save the world with your guitar one love song at a time it's just better, more fun, easier with a fender solid body electric guitar or electric bass guitar.

if you want to make everything including machineing the wood into shape, id get hold of a good engineer to program a cnc machine for you... unless you like the hands on approach which involves a tree and a big file

Building kits is easy. You will end up with a very playable instrument if you already have a knack for guitar set-ups. Several good kits to choose from too! Saga, and Grizzly both make a very decent bass kit, and Carvin guitars offers a bass kit as well (bolt on neck), but Carvin also sells neck-through necks and body blanks so you COULD make anything you wanted. The Grizzly kit would be my choice though, since I have built several Grizzly kits, I know they are high quality http://www.grizzly.com/products/Bass-Gu ... lted/H8181

Sorry I thought he was just kidding or something-- that's why I said "no".

It seemed to me like if I was to get on a car site and ask : Hey I have no experiance building a custom car just driving them. Does any one know how to build one? That leaves a big door open doesn't it??? Maybe not.

Haha I see where youre coming from.



I would also recommend the Grizzly. I have built several and the shape the body and neck come in is much better than a saga kit. And Grizzly kits are affordable. Carvin are alot higher quality but theyre so expensive you might as well buy a new guitar.
