| I wouldn't dismiss Warmoth necks so quickly.
I installed a Warmoth Jazz replacement on an SX P-bass, and I'm not experiencing neck dive at all. I weighed both the new and old necks, and the Warmoth neck was only marginally heavier (I think it was only a couple ounces heavier). I installed the Gotoh GB7 tuners which were at least a couple ounces lighter than the existing tuners. Of course, the tuners make the most difference because they are at the end of the neck.
I couldn't be more please with the Warmoth neck. It feels good to hold, which is important because I spent most of my time with my hand on the neck. It wasn't cheap, but it is a quality neck. You get what you pay for. The neck is a Jazz / Wenge neck wood / Ebony fingerboard / stainless steel frets / LP headstock / 13 degree angle / Mother of pearl inlays. |
