Hi.

Working on Your instrument is lot's of fun and also teaches you how to make it to suit your own style better.

What's even more fun, is if a seasoned pro teaches You to do it the right way in the first place. Congrats, that's a rare thing to happen to anyone.

Regards

You have had an auspicious start. Now is the time to continue your education. There is a lot of research available. Pickup a copy of The Guitar Player Guide to Repair by Dan Erlewine. It is the most comprehensive text available. It is also one of the easiest reads.

Welcome to the larger world of luthiery and repair.

that rocks man, my tech is amazing he did the setup infront of me while we talked and smoked a couple doobies. having seen and had everything explained i could do my setups myself but honestly the $50 is worth it. took my bass from "hey this is alright" to "OMFG this bass rocks my socks off"

I am interested in building a Warmoth bass and I am not quite sure what to build I have P - bass and Jazz bass, I was thinking maybe a 5 string 50's P bass with a single Emg Bar with Flats on an Ebony board.

What do you guys think?
