Hang on, so do they position the bridge off the f-hole refs or position the f-holes off the bridge? [:-?] Something tells me I shouldn't care, but.......I...
I like a narrow neck...strings 5/8" apart at the bridge....more standard is 3/4". Allow about 3/16-1/4" on either edge of the fingerboard.... call it 2 3/4"...
neither/both but...since the reference marks are "permanent" being carved into the wood and the bridge is moveable/removeable for repairs, I would guess that...
Hey, I design around 50 mm or 1 15/16" at the nut usually no taper, but that would be ok... a "standard" PBass is narrower at the nut @ 43mm and wider at the...

Mornin' Eric, It's a Perdomo, Estate Seleccion, Prestige. All their big boxes I see now a days are black with a routed relief along the edge. Still nice boxes....
I have a box with a lengthy cherry neck (I just never decided what size I wanted it to be before now) that is going to become a two string bass. I'm going to...
Mornin' Darren, I use Titebond II and clamp the heck out of it. Be sure to rough up the surface before gluing. Especially with hard wood thats been through the...
The resocones really boost the volume. That's of course why the dopyera brothers invented them. If I'm playing at a jam session with acoustic guitars I use one...
