Neck Shaping Templates for Bass

Build an iconic bass neck, just like the original.
We've been meticulously measuring the necks of some of the most amazing basses ever made to create these super-accurate shaping templates.

Everything you need to make perfect reproductions of sought after necks. These new templates have exact contours of the back of the neck, taken at the nut, middle of the neck, and more (see each template for exact locations). We also measured the thickness of the neck with the fretboard, and etched the measurements on the tool. You've got all the dimensions right in hand to get your neck exactly right.

Each gauge is laser cut from hard plastic for a lifetime of use in your shop.

    Bolt-on templates include:
  • Exact neck profile at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th fret
  • Nut width dimensions
  • Neck thickness dimensions at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th fret
  • Neck to heel profile

If you're a custom builder, you'll love being able to offer customers neck profile choices that they already know they love.

Check out the iconic necks you can make!
