Disappointed with warmoth!

Hi Tommy,

All Warmoth guitars and basses are bolt on design. You may need to look for a small custom shop for your inlay work. Michael Dolan is the only guy that comes to mind. Be aware, highly custom work is likely to come with custom prices.

As far as your last sentence.... Smells like a troll....

 

Yeah, at no point did Warmoth tell you that they'd do that work - you assumed. Bad on you. Warmoth makes great products - not cheap, but most good stuff isn't cheap.

 

+1.
There is no story, and there shouldn't be any disappointments. The smell is strong on this one

 

And you definitely cant expect this to be cheap. Warmoth is great, the neck on my P is awesome, some seriously figured Maple.

The neck you want/expect is not going to come easily..

And Tommy isnt a troll guys, I can back him up.

 

hmmmmm....warmoth huh?? I've never looked into their stuff

** off to do some research **

 

You seem unclear on the concept. Warmoth makes parts and you put them together yourself or have someone else do it. They don't do any assembly.

 

warmoth isn't a custom shop. they make very, very high quality Fender replacement parts with custom options on wood and finishes

 

Tommy is a cool dude no troll.

BUT

They dont do that stuff dude. I order a pick ups from there and i called to ask about them and the guy walked me through wiring them , really nice service.

What your asking for is a custom job,

 

Carvin makes neck through bass project necks.

 

bingo!

i was about to say that.

 

If you look at Warmoth's site it is readily apparent that they only do bodies and necks for bolt-on applications (which is what a Fenderbird is as TBird pointed out). Once I emailed Warmoth about whether they made replacement necks for Fenders with 22-frets. They didn't and, as far as I know, still don't, but it's not like they are obliged to, I'm sure if they did it would comprise something like 1% of their business, not worth their while. Warmoth doesn't owe you a particular model or part.

 

Cool story, bro.

 

No offense to the OP, but i totally bursted out laughing when i read the post...

Where did you ever get the idea that Warmoth was doing neck throughs??? Have you ever seen one anywhere?

Warmoth makes bolt necks to Fender specs. Also, it violates their agreement with Fender if they were to sell you an assembled neck and body.

I can understand your dissapointment about the inlays, but you can't say you're dissapointed in Warmoth because they don't drastically alter their business practices and designs to make you a neck through.

 

why don't you call a local or prominent internet luthier and have them build what you want? Warmoth isn't the endall and be all of bass parts. The only thing that makes them a "custom" shop, is the ability to mix and match necks and bodies, not that they will one off something for you.

 

Why are you disappointed? Warmoth specializes in J and P style basses, and nowhere on their website does it suggest they make neck-through basses. They sell individual necks and bodies, not neck-through basses.

 

Yep, bad form bashing a good company for this reason. They clearly state what they offer on their site.

Damn good products too.
