The White sc is a Maisietone and I will be using that but I found a kinda cool surround that I may or maynot use
Once seen it can't be un-seen. I vote 'use'
For those who have used them, how "plug & play" are the warmoth necks? How are the frets? Finished or will they need levelling?
I've only built 1 Warmoth. They recommend the fret work be finished/leveled. My bass plays great without it, and I'm pretty picky. However, I'm sending it to a luthier next week to have the frets finished (he has a PLEK machine). I'm apprehensive about doing it because it plays so well now....but I'm gonna do it anyway.
PLEK-ing is not cheap. All my G&L basses arrived PLEK-ed and the warmoth neck feels and sets up just as good. If you don't need to PLEK, save the money, IMO.
It plays good now.
But....Some of the best bass builders PLEK their stuff and Warmoth recommends finishing the frets so I'm gonna take the plunge.
it's probably not going to get used now , big change of plans though . A friend Paul SlagleOnce seen it can't be un-seen. I vote 'use'
does finishing for EchoPark & Pittman guitars and several other builders took a look at it and talked me into a pro finish . Hes a friend and a master finisher so I handed it over . We'll see it in a month or so . I left all creative control to him so it's a mystery finish

Can't wait!
I received the shipping notification today for my custom P bass body and Jazz neck. That was really fast cause I just placed my order on 9/12 and the body has paint. I will have it on Monday. I just received the last of the parts for it today also.
I see Andy Irvine picked up one of Steve's Basses..Very cool! Sounds great too

Here's an idea for anyone thinking about a fingerboard extension on a rear route body.
Axetreme Creations made this for us.

I received my custom order on Monday. They did an excellent job on the body and neck. I took the neck to a local laser engraving shop to have my logo design engraved on the headstock. The owner Chad said he is always up for custom engraving on instruments. Super nice guy. here is link to his website: deknicreations.com Home Super happy how that came out. I also added some Luminlay that I had to the neck and dropped the neck off with Mo at Nordstrand yesterday to have it sent out to get clear satin finish. I am going to have Mo over at Nordstrand install electronics and do the final assembly & setup just to be sure it will be the best Bass it can be..He set up my Ibanez SR1800 recently and it feels amazing. I will shield the body cavities, ground them and install the bridge first before dropping off to Mo.
