You bet!
Did you order this per you spec and have it assembled or does Warmoth send it disassembled and you build it? Or did you buy it used? I never dealt with Warmoth so please excuse my ignorance.

Hi B-Mac. I assembled this one myself -like all my Warmoth basses.

Basically, you can buy necks and bodies from them (from any they already have in their stock inventory) or you can ask them to build one from scratch. I think I ordered both the neck and body here unpainted from their stock and asked them to route for this pickup and finish them in these particular colours.

All the holes and fitting of the pickups, hardware etc. must be done by yourself or your favourite luthier / repairman etc. Like this, a 'custom' bass can be had for just a fraction of the price of a pre-made bass, off-the-wall in a music shop.
 
New pickguard.

No, it is not a mexican classic, it's a 1998 MIJ Duck Dunn!

Mine is number 135. It has the same pickups as the ceased American Vintage Series '62 P. But the cheap electronics of many MIJ Fender instruments. Otherwise as great as MIJ gets. And this means a lot. The cheap electronics don't bother me because of the impact on the sound, but they really get scratchy fast.
