I figure this is a good place to mention that my newly finished (transparent green) Warmoth P/J build is absolutely FANTASTIC! it has a Fender high mass bridge, Schaller tuners, EMG GZR pups (P/J set), maple neck w/ blocks and binding, a tortoiseshell pickguard and Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings (45-105) and it's the absolute BEST sounding Bass that I own (out of 9), Hands Down! ... for a minute, I thought about placing a Fender waterslide logo on the headstock, then I'm like SCREW THAT, the only thing Fender on this Bass is the HM bridge, I'm gonna create my own waterslide logo and put THAT on the headstock cause, "WHO PUT THIS THING TOGETHER HUH?!, ME! DAS WHO!!" I love Fender, but they don't make/sell anything as cool as this Bass (pictures to come). price for everything altogether about $900/$950 and well worth it; I WILL be building another Warmoth Bass (Jazz) sometime in the future.

Great story! Nice how you came to the realization that putting a Fender logo on a great WARMOTH custom that you designed did not make sense.

I own two Fenders, but I am not connected to a particular brand. I judge basses on their individual tone, construction and weight.

I'm glad to hear that the pool of legitimate trans-green Fender basses out there in the world will retain its current level of integrity.

Guys, how could it be not a Fender, if it was made from Fender parts? Just because assembling? Well, if follow this logics - in the moment you ever disassemble your "original Fender" - for trust rod setup or to look at markers on a neck - BOOM! as soon as you will reassemble it by yourself your bass ceases to be "original"

No logic to follow there. A parts bass was never assembled by Fender in the first place. Not a Fender.

Back to the comedy, please.
