scroll bass blueprint / measurements?

[dadagoboi]

i will draw up a few and you can go from there....

If you could make copies I'd appreciate it, Jim!  I've been looking for an excuse to make a semi hollow body.

Careful Carlo, making semis can be addicting. I know!

Is a scroll bass a semi? I thought it was solid with an f hole routed all the way through as a decorative touch...but what do I know, never touched one.

I think they are different designs depending on the manufacturer.  If I did one, I'd be tempted to do it as a semi-hollow body rather than routed top to back.

Same here.  I like the look but not crazy about the holes.

Hmm from the Johnson site:
"The body is hollowed out with a series of acoustic chambers that add warmth and sustain."
