O.k., (hopefully I will make some sense) Get a basswood body or alder or if price doesn't matter get a mahogony body. I suggest going to www.warmoth.com or at least I think that is the name. Just go to the website that has the turtle adds in Guitar World mags. but you want a renforced neck because those will last longer and not warp... uhh... Ask around for pick ups and electronic options. Thats my input

I hope it goes well but be carefull with Warmoth. Their website is a bitch to get around and in order to order things you have to know what everything is.

They make it a bitch to order anything and then you have to order a neck that will fit the slotty thing and gah. If you want to go though with it you will be satisfied with what you get because they own.

If you are building a bass, make sure you get active pickups, no matter what brand they are. It will give you alot better sound. Just out of curiosity, why build your own instead of just buying one (since you are just buying all the pieces anyway)?
