I dunno Wayne, I tend to think plywood is a whole other can of worms (one that I don't want to deal with, generally); there are lots of cheap broken basses out there these days that are still made from solid wood and could make a good project...

I do agree, but jointing and planing wood its very hard by hand. Do u guys do it by hand?
