| | | | I'm going to get a fretless Warmoth neck for my American Standar Jass bass. I still haven't decided to get a tapered neck or standard. What's the big difference? |

Has a Hipshot A-style bridge, and Hipshot UltraLite tuners. Electronics are EMG DC40's w/EMG BQC pre.

One of these days I'll have to build a Gecko bass around the single Peavey Cirrus "VFL" active pickup that is sitting in my parts drawer. I'm sure it would sound awesome.

The bass looks really great! Thinking about replacing the neck on my MIM swamp ash jazz. | I'm not sure. My guitar tech had some on hand, and asked if he could put it on.
Yes, the standard white pearloid inlays & binding have the same vintage satin nitro finish that the neck has, so everything has that vintage golden tint. My tech tinted the white pearloid pickguard and control plate to match. He did a great job.
The neck is SPECTACULAR! I have never played anything that's close too it. Of course, it cost more than many basses do....

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2012 Location: California | | Something I should probably mention because it seems contrary to most other people's experiences with Warmoth, is that I never got any notification of my parts shipping. No tracking number, no confirmation email, nothing. Just the parts showing up on my doorstep out of the blue. Anyone else have a similar experience?
(I'm not complaining, it was a nice surprise)
