Warmoth Bass Porn...Show yours too

[TMart99]

Beautiful!

What's the fingerboard wood on this one?

Warmoth sprays them with a sealer, but you have to fill the grain yourself, if that's what you want.

I wanted an "old gunstock" kind of finish, so I didn't apply any filler. What you see is about six or eight coats of hand-rubbed Tung oil (I lost count, my bottle-cap tally system was corrupted ). I could have applied more to fill the grain and achieve a glossier finish, but that's not what I was going for.

The neck is raw, and I wanted a similar texture on the body.

Here's a pic of the body before I wired it ...

As to pics of the tuners ...

The tuners are Satin Black.

Not a great pic. I'll try to get some glamour shots next week.

This is my Warmoth. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My Warmoth is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My Warmoth, without me, is useless. Without my Warmoth, I am useless. I must play my Warmoth true.

Now that's dedication!

Love that finish ! Pearliod is such a wonderful complement to it.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

I don't own either one:

Cheers,

That one has been in the Warmoth gallery for years. It is a very attractive bass, even it its not green.

Here's mine. Dark stars with stack knob setup. Warmoth body, fender 62 reissue neck. The jaguar switch plate was added later. I ordered the body without any pickup routes. Routed them myself. The switches include an inactive switch, cap switch for the bridge pickup and killswitch.

There are SO MANY gorgeous, works of art on this thread, which may be my favorite thread right now for the sheer beauty and dedication to these basses...
BUT
I thought of Drew's bass all day today. Simply gorgeous.

and MONGO2's

This is NOT my bass. I have nothing to do with this listing. I actually contacted the owner and used a TB line "If only it were a 4" and he said that's the reason he's selling it.
Now, if this bass is not drop dead gorgeous, then I don't know what is...

I agree, gorgeous bass.

I ended being the highest bidder, it arrives tomorrow. This is my first Warmoth, the woods, electronics and looks piqued my interest. Can't wait to try it out.

It's ridiculous how Little these basses go for.

It's ridiculous how Little these basses go for.

I agree, the woods, electronics, hardware and cost to put together are not cheap. I've only recently looked into Warmoth basses, from everything I've read the components are top notch.

Warmoth precision alder body in Sonic Blue, Fender maple neck w/ ultralight Fender tuners, Lollar pickups, Fender hardware, Leo Quann Badass III bridge, CTS pots, Orange Drop capacitor, Switchcraft jack, and vintage style cloth wiring.

This is pretty much exactly what I was going to build. Very nice bass!
