Basic info - Warmoth deluxe 5 neck & body, body is swamp ash/maple, neck is maple ebony
Gotoh bridge, Seymour Duncan stacked jazz pickups, Audere classic preamp, DR Black Beauties (45-125's).
I've had the parts for a while but was not motivated to play fretless until recently - picked up an Ibanez GWB-35 and liked it, finished up this one, and bought a GWB-1 that is coming Monday. I have some decisions to make!

| | | | Yeah I noticed the headstock hardware is still chrome. With some black tuners it will pop out against the pale headstock. That bass has "Class" Very rare do I like Jazz shaped basses. I am digging yours. |

Dan K. | Bummer...well, any other pics you have or any other work you do you can take a few pics and post them here (just amend the original post). |

Maybe it is the lack of stain or color on the headstock, or something I don't grab at the moment. Normally, that would not make me happy (black bridge and chrome tuners). |

typical, huh?

And there is no shame in a parts build. There are bassists of many years who still cannot set up their own instruments let alone change a knob. Your bass build is light years beyond that!
