Ramirez Custom Bass Guitars: Neck Shaping

[orlandofriend]

I picked up the Nicholson #49 rasp to do the same task. I went from a square neck to an almost fully shaped neck in less than 30 minutes with just a good rasp.

Enjoying the videos... thanks so much for sharing!

thanks for taking the time to put this up. I've been thinking about making my own neck for about a year, and shaping had been a big reason I didn't start yet.

Excellent, thank you for sharing.

Olá Will Ramirez,

Devo agradecer a você porque eu aprendi muito sobre seus vídeos. Vou começar em breve com a construção de meu próprio baixo quero saber a relação de ferramentos e maquinarios necessarios para montar uma oficina de lutiher

Ola, Ramirez , sou Brazileiro, gostaria de saber uma relação de ferramentas necessaria para fazar uma oficina igual a sua, obrigado.

Thanks for the video. They're making Auriou rasps again. I think you can get them through Tools For Working Wood. I was looking for a video featuring one at work and your endorsement was very helpful!

Hello Will Ramirez,

I must thank you because I learned a much about your videos. I am going to start soon with building my own bass.

I already created a design, en made it in 1:1 scale.

Greetings Oblivtube.

You're very welcome! Have fun and be safe above all!

have you ever thought about using the angle grinder to shape necks? i have once so far and it wasnt too bad

[willramirez75]

I use an angle grinder with a Kutzall wheel to shape the transition block where the neck meets the body (neck heel), but it's way too aggressive for general neck shaping IMHO.

i know nothing of making a bass guitar, but i love playing! cool insight...

[weaver2109]

is that a birds eye neck?

looks great!

[RedeemerbassesScott]

Pretty much the same way I do it, but I use Micro-Planes. Your a pretty good instruction giver!

[willramirez75]

I used to do it with microplanes, but believe it or not, these rasps cut smoother and faster with less chatter than microplanes.

Do you usually work without the dust mask?

[willramirez75]

yes when I am not producing dust.
