how Bass Guitar are made depends on the brand and price. The majority are made by machines where the blcy is cut using a CNC machine, then likewise for the holes in which the pickups, electronics etc. are placed . They are then either finished by hand or machine. Some are made entirely by hand, where the body is cut out, the holes routered etc. and all assembled by hand but these carry a very hefty price-tag
