Well Thank-you Marcus,

I did a build thread on the bass. Doing a bass is not incredibly different from a regular six string. My methods for deflection testing of the tops can accommodate for the increased tension of the bass strings. What was really difficult was thinking through those f-holes! A guitar with f-holes is a different instrument.

Here is a link to the build thread I did on that bass which will take you through the process and answer some of the spec questions:
