hi, i'm new in this forum.
i'm a luthier in italy, i build basses and guitars, now i'd like to begin to build my semi-acoustic upright bass.
i'd love to have a "traditional" neck on it...so does anybody can give me a plan and measures to make a 3/4 upright neck?
thanks a lot

The plans sold by Peter Chandler's estate include 3/4 size basses. Get the book, buy the plans and you'll be off to the races!

You don't have to buy the book-- just buy the plan you like. They are full-size paper plans for the whole bass.
Pretty cheap, too. He had nine different plans, the last I remember.
They are not downloadable, but I suppose if you wanted them in electronic form you could scan one after you bought it.
