Warmoth neck question

Thoughts? Yeah, a couple. Pictures? Sorry; no.
The neck on my Warmoth Mini-Precision is a short scale Maple/Maple one, with red coral dots and a Vintage Satin Nitro Finish. I can play a painted or a Gloss finish neck if I have to; but, I don't particularly care for them. Since I built this bass exactly the way I wanted it - I don't have to... However, if you like a gloss nitro finished neck? A Warmoth will certainly be a good one...
As for pictures? I can't access my picture files on this laptop, and I've been unable to load any new ones on the #!*@ thing, either. But, I can tell you that mine looks just like the picture of a Vintage Satin Nitro Finished neck on their web site - just shorter... I imagine that a Gloss finished one would also pretty much look like the picture, too... :cool:

I have two Warmoth necks, but both are unfinished Roasted Maple shafts.
Smoothest neck I've ever touched.
As for quality, they are top notch.
Sorry, can't say anything about the vintage gloss…but I guess this is what it would look like…(from their site)

I've usually gotten the satin nitro finish on them. I know it polishes to a gloss after some years of usage. I think I had a gloss neck years ago and it was ... glossy. Grain showed through nicely but the neck was not as smooth and friction-free as the satin finish.
