Omg, is that a 5 way switch like a strat?

PQUOTE="Doner Designs, post: 17561136, member: 222504"]My second Warmoth here. Bocote on ash, ebony on rosewood. Babicz, Hipshot, Nordstrand and the new Audere preamp with the hum cancellation phantom coils (which works GREAT).

Does the audere classic beep? I want one since they're cheap but I hate that feature in their z mode preamps.

Yes sir! It is! With the blend pot and this 5 way, I can get around 9 different variations of tone with the bass!

I decided I couldn't live without a V control . It was wired direct to output jack . I just threw in a 500k , no cap direct to output and it's fantastic .

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!...

 

[fretno]

it's killer though and "normal"

Not familiar with the beep you refer to. Is that a low battery warning? Never had it happen.

Love the functionality, sound, flexibility and price of the Audere preamps but I find the "rats nest" wiring they usually create undesirable. There's not much you can do about it, its just the way the Audere preamps are designed, in fact Doner's looks even better than the few I've done. I much prefer the East preamp flat ribbon wire method and really wish Audere would adopt it. Then all would be perfect - rainbows and skittles for everyone!

BTW - not ragging on your bass! Looks great and I bet sounds killer!

Looking at their website it seems like their focus has been more on the modules that will fit a standard J cavity.

Let me borrow it!!l

For a couple years.

LOL - I am slightly thinking of selling it. Of course I will never recoup the money I put into it, but it has entered my mind a few times. The neck has a nice hint of flame on it as well and the bridge was completely fabricated from a block of solid brass. It is LOADED with a lot of extras.
For a couple years.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Pm a price. Not looking into buying right now but slightly interested in the future.

Love the color combination!

Pretty close to the spec I've been drooling over for a few years.
What pickups did you choose to install?

DiMarzio Ultra Jazz. I wanted a modern deep & bright sound. My other bass (G&L LB-100 with flats) is unbeatable for giving the low-mid focused sound that I use most of the time.

Latest Warmoth configuration.
Custom shop '62 pups, alder, maple P neck and she is a thumper, not too snappy on the high end.

wow that looks great! i thought alder was usually darker but it matches that maple neck nicely

Thanks. The tung oil is still pretty fresh. I think it will darken over the next year or so.

 

[iriegnome]

It takes a while for the tung oil to really settle in. Gets a super nice dark look to it. I did mine almost 16 years ago now. It has mellowed into a very beautiful natural looking dirty old used look that I love.

 

[organworthyplayer337]

Just got the Custom T in , I've done a few Shellac coats , black grain filler on the Ash , Behlen vinyl sealer and a light top coat of Behlen Stringed Instrument Lacquer .

One of the lads at reranch suggested I leave the top as is and clear it some more and do the back in trans red . So this weekend we'll get to that red back

We're the pickup mounting screws pilot holes already drilled?

 

[fretno]

Yes they were . funny you bring up this body it arrives to one of the lads up North today , maybe he'll check in later .
