Per Warmoth, it is Shell Pink. I had the tortoise binding added to help it pop a little more. B

Here's the most recent addition to the family. B

The most expensive bass I've played and thought 'I've got to get me one of these' is the Lakland 55-02 - the neck is exquisite. I've never regretted that purchase. The least expensive bass I own and gig with is my Squier Rascal - it certainly punches above its weight. More so once I added...

Did you try the Relentless pickups in your Urge? I've been considering the same for mine and wondered if it would fit, and how difficult the swap was. Thanks, B

I just finished a Warmoth Dinky J build and ordered it specifically without the forearm bevel. I really haven't noticed an ergonomic difference, but I like the look with the tort binding. B

A matching headstock is a special-order item. When I inquired about it for my Dinky J build, it was an additional $175+/-. As much as I love a matching headstock, that was too steep on an already pricy build for me. Also, I love my Dinky J -highly recommend. B

I have used the suggested EHX Hum Debugger in the past. While it does as advertised, reduce the 60-cycle hum, it also made me think my bass had issues. When trying it initially, the Bb sounded great, and the C sounded great, but the B was almost non-existent. As the B is close to 60Hz, the...

It has the look of a late 80's Kramer. Perhaps someone had it and stripped the paint. I'd at least string the A, D and G backwards to reduce the angle a bit...would feel odd when tuning but might help. B

Standard steel rods, and I haven't noticed any neck dive. I think the roasted maple neck combined with the ultralight tuners helps a bunch. B

I'm not sure about the neck. I took it off before even playing on it. I'll send you some pics if you'd like. B

While I didn't put a straight edge on it, I can say it feels really good...no noticeable high spots. Thanks, B

1: Zorg makes quality products...just don't push the red button. :laugh: 2. Thx - it adds a little something fun. 3. I felt I had to add tort being this is Talk Bass. 4. We went with a pirate theme and called her Rogue. 5. So far, I love the neck pickup soloed (tone in the middle) and the...

I'm not sure how the image is applied on the neckplate, decal or screenprint or something else. I found them at Greasy Groove, and just got a kick out of having a little something extra. I also added one to my Squier Rascal (see below). Thanks, B

After many years of wanting to build/assemble my own custom bass, I finally saved up enough cash (not earmarked for something else) and took the plunge. I mostly had to overcome the “what if I hate it?” thought bouncing around in my head. Specs: Warmoth Dinky-J body: shell pink, chambered...

I purchased my Lakland 55-02D 6 years ago and have never regretted it. The preamp is very sensitive to changes, so affords a huge variety of tonal options. Additionally, the construction is rock solid. The only thing I've changed on it since purchasing has been the battery; I've not had to...
