The bass isn't routed yet. It's currently not even in the process of being built. I want all my ducks in a row before I start this. I'm not one for last minute surprises on something I'm spending this much on. If they're up there on Friday I'll probably grab them, but I'm also going to need...

I'm honestly not sure if this thread should go here or to the luthier section. Sorry if it's in the wrong location. I've posted a few threads on here about putting a bass together through warmoth. I RREEAALLYY want to use MEC Jazz pickups in this thing, but Warmoth does not offer MEC brand...

Wish I could help you, but I was hoping to find some info on this myself. I'm in the middle of research for future construction on "my" bass. I've basically been modeling what I'm building from some of the Warwick basics. Including some woods and the pickups, and I've been looking into the...

Like Bobster said, warmoth doesn't offer a straight Bubinga body. But they do say in multiple places to call and that they will try to fit all needs to said player. Price is what scares me about that. I've also thought numerous times about the laminate bubinga top on the walnut body, but...

I'm looking to piece a bass together. Tired of struggling to find one that fits me from a factory when that is virtually impossible without paying close to $5,000. I love the sound of warwicks with the bubinga body. However, it seems to be virtually impossible to find a bubinga body...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping and giving your input. My SDGR has a very slight angle, so it doesn't affect me setting it down, but I'm not sure the degree of angle it has either. I think it's just enough to not need a string tree. This at the moment is all just research...

First show I ever played in a bar with my first band. We played. I got my gear off stage, went to the restroom. While pissing I proceed to be picked up off the ground by a 250-300 lbs black guy that keeps saying over and over how awesome the show was and how much he enjoyed seeing me play the...

I'm starting to do some research on piecing my first bass together. I've been playing on the same P-bass for 15 years and a SDGR SR-405 that I picked up about 8-9 years ago, so I think it's about time for a change or at least something new. I've played on tons of brands and styles, and I have...

The only one that I will let touch anything of mine is the guy at Katz's in the Woodlands. I know it's a drive, as I live on the southwest side, but it's worth it to know that the work is getting done right, and will be what you ask for. If he gets in the middle of something and realizes that...

Tried them out last week, and (yes, I know, rookie mistake):rollno: didn't expect the difference in tension. I have a 5 string SDGR SR-405 and usually run a 125 in Hi-Beams on the B. So i decided to stick with same gauge. Got the strings, put them on, and my action went from excellent to...
