I so much should have gone with the battery door for mine.. Changing the battery is a pain otherwise.

What all did you guys have to do to the necks when you got them? I just ordered all the parts I need to put one of these together (I think I got them all anyway), and I gather the frets need leveled and crowned at least.
I ordered a P-bass bubinga neck with a pau ferro fretboard, unfinished.

I've read of many that slapped them on as is and never had a problem, but I've followed Warmoth's own advice and had each one of my 4 necks leveled/crowned.
I always do it to know I'll get the best possible results right off the bat.

This is my Warmoth and my (since sold) Valenti which is a Warmoth bass as well. Great bass btw.
sorry....what is the string spacing of this warmoth?
I ordered my Warmoth in pieces, couldn't decide on a neck without more reading so I ordered the body seperate. I bought misc parts from different places and actually forgot to order a few so they ended up on seperate orders too..
Its like someone has kidnapped my future bass (one that I think I'm going to enjoy alot too) and is sending it to me piece by piece as torture...
After going through this whole thread, I'm finding it painful to wait!

More cool stuff here - I'm gassing over a Warmoth P so bad I can taste it!!
Anyone know if they do a black burst? My gut tells me to stick to my original idea of a traditional burst, but a small part of me wants to do something different than the average P . . .

I have seen black bursts. I know if you call them they will do it. Give them what you want and go from there. They are great to work with.. Especially when you have something that they tell you they don't do, but you got it from them...
Sorry to step aside like that.
Anyway, I am sure they do black burst.

What kind of wood??? What is the neck wood? I like the natural with the Pearloid guard.. Almost makes it look like it was stripped of the old paint and just kept nautral.
Thats a Mahogany body with the satin clear finish (which is just stunning), the neck is bubinga with a pau ferro fretboard. But I might order a second neck with a maple fretboard eventually.
That is really nice!!!! They have beautiful Mahogany. I have a carved top Dinky P, Mahogany body with a Maple cap. I had the Mahogany clear coated and the back looks gorgeous.
I'll be looking forward to seeing your finished product.

Sure would like to see it. I have been wanting just that configuration. Could you post pics?
I think this one is finally as it shall be forever. It is just perfect.

Sure can! I went with the 5A quilt upgrade. The side shot shows some of the red running throught the Mahogany - really nice! The neck is all Macassar ebony. Loaded with a Fralin P, SD Custom Shop MM and an Aguilar OBP-3 @18v.
I love Warmoths. I have 2 others and am going to order another next week.
man o man, if that thing was trans blue, I would be in love. Nice quilt on that one. If I get it together, I will be getting a carved top dinky. `Warmoths are great. My band thinks I have about 15 basses, but really I only have many different parts and change configurations often. Sweet bass you have there.
Thank you. And since you mentioned blue......man o man, if that thing was trans blue, I would be in love. Nice quilt on that one.

I think my next warmoth towards the end of the year will be a dinky P... looks awesome.
