I'm slowly approaching the point in my neck-through electric bass construction where I'll be cutting the wings and attaching them to the neck. I'm reviewing different people's projects, how they've done these steps, in what order, etc. My question to y'all is, assuming you've done neck-through builds, how have you ensured reasonably true alignment between the wings and the body during assembly? I can think of:
- short dowels joining the components
- cauls on the top, bottom and butt end
- rough-shape the pieces, glue-up with decent alignment, do all real smoothing and final shaping after
Thoughts? Experiences?
