Zirocote neck? Can we see more photos of that? I’m intrigued. How’s the stability and influence on tone?
Sure I’ll get some this weekend. It seems stable. I’ve had it for years and it’s just like the other necks around here , only needs an occasional adjustment. Tone seems normal more or less. I don’t think i can narrow down any particular qualities of it but the whole instrument just sounds incredible.
Very cool. I’ve seen and own Zirocote fretboards but not necks. I wonder if it’s mot often used simply due to costs as it always seems to be a premium feature
I think so , I got this neck in a deal with an ex employee from Warmoth who told me he worked a deal with Ken Warmoth and got this billet from his personal stash . You sure don't see that often but it is the good stuff . It's very smooth and feels great with just wax finish . I'l get some pics for you later \m/
New to me this week, a 2010 Squier Matt Freeman that was already fairly modded ... and now is heavily modded.
Pearloid pg was black
Black knobs were chrome
Wilkinson bridge was HiMass
Stock pickup now Dimarzio Model P
Nut needed replacing so now Tusq
Tuners are still original, though!
It sounds just as I hoped it would

Extra bonus points for the binding and uber cool pick guard. Now that baby deserves a custom decal to really finish it off.
Beautiful and some good choices made, congratulations.
The purple one doesn't look that bad either.
That Purple bass is everyone's dream bass , we all need that one !
I put this mint on the Wilkins today . I pulled the Spitfire . Yup I did it whoo
it's a big move for me it originally had a All parts tort guard which looked good
and I later one up'd it with a Spitfire but since day one I wanted a minty flavor
so today's the day ! some 9 years later lol
so this stuff seems difficult to capture with my camera , in natural light it's a beautiful mix of dark colors but check it out
I installed the Luminlay because it had no side dots
I was lost with out those lol
