Plan Your Build & Get Hardware

ExoBass can be confusing! Head over to our build planner to plan your entire build - it'll walk you through every available part and handle compatibility along the way, and it covers all ExoBass parts. It's also the best way to get hardware, since it lets you buy everything for a full build in one go, not just this part.

You can find this specific part, ExoBass - Wing Sets - CW2, on our site.

Step 1: Heat set inserts

Step 1a: Insert strap connector heat set inserts

Using a soldering iron, insert the Strap Connector Heat Set Inserts.

Step 1b: Insert pickup mount heat set inserts

ℹ️ This is optional, if you don't want to use the Over String Pickup Mount or the Lace Ultra Thin Pickup you can skip this step.

Step 2: Put together body pieces

Printed parts come with built-in supports at a few overhangs — clip and clean these out before assembly, particularly around the truss rod access notch and the neck pickup route.

Position the top pieces on top of the back pieces.

Then screw it all together using the BT3x20 screws

Step 4: Attach Core

Step 4a: Position 2020

Step 6: Electronics

Step 7: Close Control Panel
