Two more pics. I stained the headstock to match the body and finished it in Nitrocellulose lacquer (clear) I finished the rest of the neck with 4 coats of 100% pure Tung Oil followed by 4 coats of Danish Oil.

That's a gorgeous bass!

Thanks!

Custom 5 string made by a local luthier using a Warmoth narrow 5 string P-bass neck.

The head stock was modified to better follow the body shape.

My office is literally on the same street as Warmoth, must drive pass that place about 4x a day.

Some nice basses in here. I've admired this one before:

Looks like it was carved from one big hunk of wood. I'd love to take it for a test drive.[/QUOTE]


The red DR's really set the whole thing off also, really pops. Nice work!

I think I pooped a little, those are awesome!

That's very nice, what kind and shade of stain did you use? I've always been a bit intimidated by a burst type effect.

I bought the stains from Stew Mac.

This is my new (one week old) Warmoth Jazz bass.
This is everything i have ever wanted in a bass!

Do i get a number or something?

 

[Balog]

I suppose trying to put one of these together for my first bass isn't a good idea, eh? Too bad, gorgeous instruments....

Thats the perfect idea. But to get some basses on this level would cost around 1200 bones, at the minimum. Thats a good MIA Fender, or starter bass.

Yeah, I tried to go through the steps of assembling the pieces on the website, but I think it's fighting with my work computer. Even if I had the money to get the pieces, I'd have to pay someone to put em together....

That's how I finished mine... I don't trust myself when it comes to $400.00 worth of pickups and preamp.


But I did build a Bass for $650.00 including a case, It's a '57 P-Bass lookalike, a finished ash and quilt Mighty Mite P body ( Tobacco Burst) and MM finished P neck (don't hate me Warmoth guys) with all gold Fender Hardware (anodized pick guard) I got off E-Bay and the case from Musicians Friend..

I built mine myself, with one exception.
The neck pocket was WAY too tight for the neck, so i had my luthier widen the pocket by sanding it until the neck fit snugly.
He also strung up the bass and did a full setup.

Other than that, i did all the work myself.
