Low-End Luthiers- Episode 2: All About Necks

Hey guys!

Episode 2: All About Necks is now available for download!  Click Here!

Today we talk all about Necks- Whether it's fret size, scale length, or fret placement, we've got you covered!  Now to give a small overview, I personally chose the scale length of 34" (I prefer the tone sound, and feel like the short scale is too short for my taste).  I also chose Jumbo Stainless Steel fretwire, and maple wood for the neck with an ebony fretboard (Which we'll get into later). 

During the podcast, I mention an online fret calculator.  You can access that here: Fret Calculator

I've also attached pictures of the wood I've chosen to work with for my bass project:
Bass Body (Swamp Ash)
Bass Neck (Maple)
Jumbo Fretwire
Fretboard (Ebony)
