john_kydd Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I have recently decided to build an electric bass and know next to nothing about guitars. I would like a parts list of the electronics that I will need to put into it. I would be very great full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickerwolf Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 That really comes down to the question of how custom do you want the bass? For instance you could have the minimal and go with no electronics just run the pick up tot he jack or 1 volume, 1 tone or 1 volume, 2 tones etc. It all depends on how many pickups you will be putting in the bass and then you can decide from there.

john_kydd Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) I'm using this tutorial and just want to know what I need to fill those holes http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/body.htm Edited April 1, 2007 by john_kydd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_kydd Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 sorry should have read more thoroughly I just need to know what kind of parts I need for those spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickerwolf Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Going of that tutorial you will want to get 1 volume pot 250k/500k 1 tone pot 250k/500k 1 selector switch -- again this depends on what combinations you want but usauly a 3 way or a 5 way is used 2 humbuckers -- what ever pickups suit the sound your after 1 output jack And then the obvious little bits - Wire, solder Check out http://www.axesrus.com/axeknobs.htm if your in the UK they have all the parts you need plus more. Im a little confused what is t your building a bass or a guitar? In your 1st post you say bass but in the tutorial its a guitar??
