<p>Hi Alvaro</p>
<p>There are a couple of good articles on building an acoustic bass in "American Lutherie" Number 9 and Number 12. Unfortunately these individual issues are no longer available. However they are still available in "The Big Red Book of American Lutherie, Volume 1". I realize that it may be more than you want to spend, however there is a wealth of other information in these pages. The book is available from Luthiers Mercantile in Windsor CA. Website is…</p>

<p>Hi Donald, thanks for the sites and the messures! I'm building a jumbo body, but they help too!</p>
<p>Since I'm an architect, I make my own plans based on other instruments I have o see (because in Bolivia there is no way to find a plan), so this bass is:</p>
<p>Chest: 30.5 cm</p>
<p>Waist: 24 cm</p>
<p>Hip: 41 cm</p>
<p>And scale length 34 inches.</p>
<p>I'll post a picture of the plan soon.</p>
