Wow. About time. Did they provide a tracking number? You probably just got caught in the craziness that happens around the holidays. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Anxious to see this finished up too. An interesting build!

Just received the tracking; should be here on Monday.

And I'm just as anxious as you are to see it all done :roflmao: :hyper:


**Thanks to @pudge for hooking me up with the ferrule situation!

Well it arrived;

I've encountered a couple problems already...

1) I need longer pots. My bad. An expensive mistake though... :rollno:

2) I'm dreading it but I might have to reshape the end of the pickguard because it may or may not come in contact with the pot/knob. I can tell yet since I have no pots. This is a feature Warmoth may have overlooked. I would contact them about it but I already know how they handle things... Ahaha :roflmao:

But everything else seems to be cool! Neck fits amazingly, bridge is a good fit I think, pickup routs are tidy etc...


Super bummed I have to put this build off even further while I try to find some pots :bawl: it's the ONLY thing holding me back!

To be continued...


***ended up ordering 3 long thread pots and pot sleeves from AllParts. Uber-fast delivery. It was ordered on the 18th and arrived in the 21st I think. Really pleased with that experience.

And you didn't ask the guy who did all that free Photoshoppery for you? Oh how easily we hard-working artístes are forgotten. :crying:

Seriously, PM me and I'll pass on some tips, software recommendations and maybe even do some quick resizing for you. Resizing is super-quick compared to the work I did on your earlier concept piece. :thumbsup:



Can o' worms, Dude…Can…O'…Worms. :meh: Fortunately, others have already addressed this incroyablement insensibles faux pax.

After planning meticulously since early May; I finally purchased the last part of my first build.

It's over.

No more planning, just waiting. And waiting.

This bass has gone through many phases, different (and I mean different) designs and such. The only aspect that stayed constant throughout the entire process was the '51 style pickguard. I just wanted to document this process. That's all.

Just curious, why a thumb rest near the bottom of the bass?

Looks nice. :thumbsup:
