Warmoth Owners Club!!

MJT is a custom refinisher/relicing shop. If you don't know you need nitro, you probably don't .

Warmoth can do their own finishing with high quality poly that will be much more durable.

As for them drilling the bridge wrong, I don't know, I guess I just got unlucky on that front. Everybody has misses - my body had one from them.

Warmoth roasted ash body, all wenge neck, Aguilar PUPs, Dingwall rotary PUP selector, Hipshot bridge, Gotoh tuners, all in all a very sweet build

Got my most recent Warmoth 30" P/J build back from the Luthier the other day. Turned out great. Need to take it back to the Luthier for a couple of small adjustments but I am super happy with it. Came in at 7.6 lbs after final assembly.

Roasted Swamp Ash clear matte finish body with Goncalo Alves neck/Wenge fretboard & 6150 Gold EVO frets. EMGX pickups & Schaller hardware.

Very cool! Is that an antique copper finish on the Schaller hardware? Did you also get the jack plate and neck plate from Schaller? If not, where/how did you get them?

Wow that's so nice. I also have a Warmoth body with that wood and finish but the figuring on yours came out so much prettier and more interesting than mine. The Goncalvo Alves is very attractive as well. Great build! Is your EMG setup active pickups and passive wiring or do you have an EMG preamp?

@TK4261 That is STUNNING!! Terrific job on each and every selection of parts...absolutely one of a kind! ALL of my basses are Warmoth/Schaller/EMG.

Thank you! Yes Schaller vintage Copper for the tuners, bridge and strap locks. The string retainer, Neck & Jack plate are called antique bronze and I got them from emma music in France..Just generic pieces but they do the job ..Could not find them here in the states.

Thank you! I added the EMG BTC active controls so I can have that stacked Treble/Bass knob...Works great so far

Nice bass. That hardware is killer. I looked for it but just went with black for mine.

 

[Hot Rats]

Well, here is the 32" scale with the black hardware. I went pretty budget on his build and in true Warmoth quality, it plays great. It's a clean little bass.

Have you considered dying the front surface of the head?
