My Frog

[Santraginus]

I recently finished my first Warmoth-Project.

Think I'll call it "The Frog"...

Specs:

Swamp Ash Body, Greenburst
Sadowsky Humcancelling J's (Passive, Vol/Vol/Tone)
Gotoh Bridge
Birdseye Maple Neck and Fretboard
Schaller Tuners
Bone Nut

And: Yes, I did notice that the E and G strings are a little out of line with the P/Us. It does not affect the sound - but still, I am thinking about using a different bridge, giving larger string-spacing. Any suggestions?

And what do you think about the looks?
I don't have recording equipment, so I can't provide you with its sound... but just to let you know: It's so sweeeeet...

Cheers
Michael

I love the finish. Green burst with maple neck, awesome.
I'm not fond of Jazz shapes to start with.
You could use an adjustable bridge such as a Gotoh roller to bring strings back in line with the PUs.

Let me be the first to say... SHWING!

Nice bass.

 

[i_got_a_mohawk]

very nice

only thing i would change, is to get it the other way around

I see - but then I'd have to get myself the other way around, too...

Green is my favorite color, & you don't see a lot of basses that shade. Sweet.

Very nice Warmoth !!!

i'd try that green body with a black pickguard ...
but that's just me .

i dig the Gotoh bridge with the Sadowsky pickups .
i'll bet it sounds great !

as Jazz Ad said , with the Goth bridge, you should be able
to roll the strings into alignment over the pickups ...
but it's no biggie if they won't .

got any more pictures ?

Thanks!

The Gogoth bridge on "The Frog" is not adjustable... maybe I'll replace it, maybe not... I don't really have an issue concerning the misalignment - it's purely cosmetical.

Not yet more pictures - but these days, I'll post some of the "family" - i.e. my other lefties, including a sunburst Hotwire Vintage 4...

taste like chicken! nice bass! enjoy it!

 

[Petary791]

Sexy dude! But I think you built it backwards.

Loving the finish, nice work, if the string issue doesn't affect the sound I doubt I'd bother to change it, it's unlikely anyone would ever even notice.

 

[Ryan L.]

Very nice

Sexyyyyyyyyy!
The strings/pups look ok to me...
I absolutely love the finish!

[Funky Doctor]

That has a very smooth look too it. Very understaded for a bright green bass indeed. Looks classy.

 

[Santraginus]

Thank you folks for the nice feedback!
- Every time I see it, I like my new bass a bit more.



Just came back from the sunday night practise with my band. Brought "The Frog" with me, and the guys really dig it, too...

Cheers

that finish is amazing! now only if i was left handed...

 

[Hollow Man]

Very nice job... that's a great finish. I don't see a problem with the string alignment relative to the pickups either.

Is it possible that there's been a thread about a green-burst bass for over a day and MajorMetal hasn't seen it?!?

 

[Pennydreadful]

Nice finish! I loves me some greenburst.
