Best Answer

Just buy a new guitar, but if you insist....

1. buy bass pickups, and make sure they fit.

2. buy a new head/neck with a 4 spaced nut, and four tuners.

3. buy a new bridge, one with 4 string pass ways.

all this for about 150 dollars, which is enough for a bass

A:

It is impossible. Bass Guitars have lower frequencies and the strings are spaced farther apart, thus requiring a larger pickup. The length of neck affects innotation, meaning that a guitar neck would make the bass out of tune. Also, the neck needs to be better supported depending on the number of strings on the new bass. The bridge will need to be replaced as well, along with the nut. The tuner have to different sizes. You're better off just buying a Bass Guitar.

What is the best guitar replacement speaker?

Unfortunately, it depends. Speakers are the last part of the electric circuit, and as such, must compliment the amplifier head (in terms of power and resistance), the setup of your guitar(s), and the genre/style that you play (not to mention the venue). There are a multitude of reviews by speaker companies that try to be descriptive of the characteristics of the speaker tonality, but in the end, it comes down to price, preference, and power. I consider Eminence to be the middle of the road, and they offer a plethora of differing style to compliment many setups.


Do you need a specific degree to build and repair guitars?

Lord no - most people who actually do it got started as assistants, roadies, or worked as luthiers alongside others in their places of manufacture. Just like anything, over time you gain experience and knowledge. There are schools of music that do teach fundamentals of guitar making, maintenance and repair, but as far as a specific degree, no. A lot of people learn on their own from books, trial and error, building their own, etc. There are some pretty good books by Guitar Player on the market about guitar maintenance and repair, and includes information on setups from guitar techs of leading guitarists alive and dead. If you're interested, start there, and experiment with your own to see how different setups affect tone and playability.
