Show your Warmoth

[Vox Populi]

So I just bought a new bass (arrives tomorrow ) but I still am looking towards the future when I plan to build a super-jazz Sadowsky rip-off from Warmoth parts.

I priced it all out, and everything will cost about $1250. That's for a 5 string, with a bound and blocked neck. Finishes applied by Warmoth. Sadowsky humcancelling w/ VTC. I would just have to assemble and do electronics.

So show your Warmoth! Also say a little about it: did you build it, or have a luthier assemble for you?

Well, I've posted these before, but I think they're worth another look...

First the fretless - Warmoth swamp ash body with quilt maple top (Emerald dye finish), Status graphite lined fretless neck, EMG Js, BA II, Schallers.

Then the fretted - Warmoth Dinky J alder body with quilt maple top (Turquoise dye finish), Status graphite neck, Nordstrand NJ4SEs, J-Retro, BA II, Schallers.

Definitely the nicest basses I've owned. I really must get round to taking some better pics, these don't really do either of them justice. Assembled by me with some help from a friend. Setup also by yours truly, very happy with both basses.

This one was originally built and wired by me. EMG-J pickups, no preamp, Wenge neck.

Then I sent it to Nino Valenti and had him swap the neck, install Nordstrand pickups with an Aguilar OBP-1 preamp, and change the hardware to black:

It's killer now.

I have several completed, and a couple more in the works ...

This one has a set of Sadowsky hum cancelling J's, but is about to be refit with a set of Aero singles. 18v U Retro Deluxe pre.

Loaded with Nordstrand NJ4SE and MM4.4 with a tap switch on the MM. 18v U Retro Deluxe pre.

Currently loaded with a Villex P/J set (with mid control) and an 18v Bart NTMB

Waiting for electronics

waiting for electronics ... but it will be a passive set-up with a Nordstrand NP-4

All the best,

The vintage-looking one with the wenge/ebony neck is mine, the other one is the "shop" tremolo bass.

Here's my (mostly) Warmoth. The only things that aren't directly Warmoth are the Bartolini pickup and preamp and the body. Everything else came from Warmoth. Well, except for the 9-volt battery.

That is one beautiful jazz you've got there.

What exactly is a Warmoth? Cause call me crazy, but when I look at these pics I see modified Fenders. I never heard of the company untill this forum, so I'm basically clueless. They look ssweeet though, I love AJBrowns paintjob. That IS killer.

Warmoth is a company that sells guitar and bass components. Some people buy them to replace parts of their existing Fenders, others buy them to assemble their own instrument.
