Buzzard 30", 32", and 34" Scale Bass Guitars

This is a prototype I want to move into a standard production model. This involves creation of jigs and tooling specific to producing these basses. I'm also building my new workshop where I'll be adding equipment and building tools that will hopefully streamline operations within the shop. Please bear with me as I try and document each step along the way. This sucks though because don't have a decent camera~!

Buzzard Body Prototype
buzzard bass body prototype dimensions
Designed a body to accommodate 3 different scale lengths and number of strings without varying the size and shape of the body. The body is an average guitar size, but smaller in length than normal bass sizes (12" wide x 20" long). However the thickness is increased from 1-1/2" thick to 1-3/4" thick in order to attempt to retain the same mass and weight for tone purposes.
• Total estimated preliminary drafting time of entire bass: 125 hours
Anyone who has ever made drawings knows that these change as things progress with the project. I've spent months on this project, with specific hours in the planning processes and know, in order to create a product that will get into actual production, many more months will be spent before I can provide a bass that will bear my name~!

Body & Neck Wood - Prima Vera (Blonde Mahogany) body and Mahogany neck.
The Prima Vara body will be taken from a piece measuring 15" x 20" leaving an approximate 5" rip at the lower horn area for use as the headstock. The Prima Vera headstock will attach to the Mahogany neck. With the stock width of the neck being 3" wide I've decided to jump ahead with making this a 5-String fretless bolt-on neck.

Pickup(s) - Passive Q-tuner BL-5 Neodymium 5-String Pup(s) -|- Dimensions
Q-Tuners are a revolutionary new approach to passive pickup design. They combine the hi fidelity punch of an active with a signal clarity unavailable anywhere else. more

Notes: 30" Scale will receive one pickup. The 32" Scale bass will receive a choice of one or two pickups. The 34" Scale basses will receive two pickups.

I am busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs so this will have to wait. I'll leave this page as is while I get my customers satisfied.
