So I bought this 25" scale P-bass for my kid. He loves it. Adores it. Almost as much as drums. Only it's still way too big and heavy for him. Thinking about a lighter body for it. Like, balsa light, small body, but with a long upper horn. Tone isn't really a concern, strength is.
I'm kinda thinking about a plywood or fir center block, like a neck through (only this one is bolt on), and styrofoam skinned with luan. Not really sure about edging it though. I could make a body, hollow the wings out, then fill the cavity (foam, cotton balls, just something to kill the ring). Is plywood even strong enough to take the neck stress in the flat direction, or should I butcher block it?
Any mad scientist ideas?
