My custom Warmoth build is finally done!!!

Awesome bass! I've always loved Tele heads on Jazz bodies, must be the Weezer fan in me. I too was thinking about modding my PJ to V/V and doing away with the tone, thanks for the added motivation!

I keep going between sonic or Daphne blue, but yours looks awesome. Nice work!
 
That's nice. If you are happy with it, that's what counts.
There are various minor details about that bass I would have changed, like black hardware and black block inlays to go with the black pickguard, but that's just me.
 
Of course over the years i have dreamed of other colors and schemes... it is hard not to with all the options they have. But i always found myself going back to the daphne blue and vintage tint neck.

I had never seen daphne blue in real life and when i would do a search for the color on google it would come up with all sorts of different shades. I knew i wanted something more blue than sonic and lighter than Lake Placid so i figured daphne woulf be the closest to the baby blue i loved so much. The color could not be closer to what i wanted. it is perfect and the finish is flawless!

Who did your finishing?
 
the neck is finished in vintage tint satin. i can not stand the feel of high gloss.

I had thought about black blocks but the pearl are a lot more subtle and that is more my style.

the finish is warmoth and flawless. I dont think i will be able to buy a manufactured bass again unless it is a rick or a thunderbird. although the fender pbass with the hand rubbed finish is REALLY nice!
