Warmoth Owners Club!!

[xhawk5]

Here's my Warmoth Dbl-P. Alder body from a Buscanti Vibe, Warmoth Roasted Maple neck, (Slim Taper, Blocks, Steel rods). The body had some hidden modifications to the neck pocket to fit a 1-7/16" heel. B was pretty good at matching the paint and no obvious lines. I removed the neck shims on the sides, trimmed out the heel curves and set the Warmoth neck in snugly. Had to keep the slightly hidden 1/8" shim for the neck height.
I re-aligned and set the Hipshot bridge and made Warmoth pg holes. The bridge split P is off center slightly but makes no difference in the sound. It has a darker tone and I guess you can attribute that to the Italian-made pickups? I tried 3 different passive harnesses and very little change. Currently wired with a Fender Stacked assembly, caps, diodes. She still snaps when you need it to. I'm looking to replace them with G&L MFD eventually... Action at 12th is 1.2-1.75mm. No buzz unless you want it and dig in some.
Overall a really nice neck and build that came together just right.

The body had some hidden modifications to the neck pocket to fit a 1-7/16" heel. B was pretty good at matching the paint and no obvious lines until I looked real close into the pocket.

Currently wired with a Fender Stacked assembly, caps, diodes and all. Squeezed it in with little room for error. She still snaps when you need it to.

I'm normally not the biggest fan of block inlay, but with the black tuning keys, this really looks great to me. Congrats on your build.

"Italian-made pickups"

???

???

Had to deep search for the specs on Google but the pickups are from Masters Of Wood: Large-Pole Neodymium Pickups

I mean sure World Peace would be nice but does anyone else also wish for a 5-string dinky-J?

Warmoth's regular 5-string J is reportedly very heavy and looks weirdly chunky to my eye...

I think it looks fine.

I built this one for a friend using a Warmoth body and neck. Candy tangerine relic’d nitro body finish done by MJT. I buried my headstock logo under clear nitro.

I love that Candy Tangerine plus pearloid combo!

Me too! It turned out real sweet! Granted it’s an odd mix of new and old- modern style Hipshot hardware, Aguilar pickups and Audere preamp mixed with the aged nitro body, cream pearl guard, nitro neck and 114 year old nickel for the string tree. But, that’s what the owner @PeeeBass wanted .

I do love the Standard Fender Jazz 5ver size and neck

Remember to order the MiM standard jazz 5ver body and neck..to create a Fender AM STD type 5ver Jazz bass

I just put this one together.

I just picked up another entry into the club. (Not that I needed it.) It was in the TB classifieds, and the seller reduced the price until it hit my threshold for impulse purchases.

 

[spiritbass]

Me too.

You, sir, have fine taste in basses. The roasted ash top really takes it there (over the top).

Oh my that's a great color.

Well, heck, I wasn't necessarily planning another Warmoth build but they're stealth dropping $50 Screaming Deals. I went a'lookin' and there was a Jazzmaster IV body. I couldn't pass that up, especially when I saw they had an unlined maple J neck.

For $330ish shipped, I picked up a body, pickguard, and neck. I'm thinking of staining the body to a nice coffee/walnut sort of brown, and tinting/aging the neck; I didn't order the vintage tint from Warmoth because the vintage tint neck I do have from them is a terrible shade of yellow. I want something a little more subtle. I might use Rubio Monocoat because it's really easy to apply and made for floors, so it's super durable.

OMG!!! I'm in the same boat, I like putting them together but have run out of room. But for what you got, how could you not!

I dunno, all I see in the pic is a chair...

I was kinda hoping you'd be freaked out by the hovering neck.

Wait what!….

Wait what!….

Yeah, I was shocked, too. They posted about the $50 sale on Instagram, so I've been popping in to check. I didn't see any $50 deals until that body came up today.

Here's the section on their website! I hope someone else gets a cool deal: Invalid Link Removed

I typically go for 4ish pound bodies from Warmoth and this one is 5.1 or something, but I think that will help with balance since the Jazzmaster style body doesn't have a long upper horn and I'll still have an 8ish pound build.
