I am similar. The only exception for me is Godin. I have two Freeway 4's and one Shifter Classic 4. They are very well made instruments for the price. I'd love to add an A4 fretless to my little collection someday. But outside of hunting for deals on Godin instruments, I am pretty much only interested in Warmoth builds if I am going to get another new bass.I will have a hard time buying anything else but warmoth
Don't know if that was directed to me, but will answer. The KA is solidly made and is very easy to adjust. I can't tell any difference in the sound over the original bridge I had on this bass, which was a standard Gotoh.
Ive always known about Warmoth, I just didnt know I could create a $4000 custom for under 2 grand. Been toying with a 4 string fretless ebony board design. The challenge is, my current fretless has topped every other fretless Ive A/Bād against it. But if I move forward, this is the body.
Nice. Bengal burst? I keep looking at Tiger eye burst or dragon burst.
I think the trick is to get Chambered, Roast Alder core, with the lam top of choice. That should give a light-ish weight. I think if you call them you can request extra-light as an off-menu option.

Warmoth medium scale. Short scale G4 Alder body, wenge neck, ebony board, custom pickguard. Nordstrand pickups, ACG Dual Filter preamp. Rattle can finish. Hanging out next to my Growler.
I joined the club earlier this year with a score from the classifieds here. Still working on putting it together though.
5A Koa top on Alder body Jazz. 60ās locations. Going to put a set of Model Jās in it an a John East Jtone if I can get one off the plate. Babicz bridge. Beautiful body. Will be wearing a Status Graphite P neck (old w/ Status logo on front). I need to take pics and will when itās done but here is the sellers photo pre packing.
Warmoth added in the customized a whole bunch of 1pc body options. So o decided to build a custom that Iām beyond excited for. Here is the sheet.
This will get the Aluminati Hollow Core P neck I have. Nordstrand Big Split Man. Hopefully some creating wiring and stacked knobs for a 4 way rotary for rear coil, series, parallel, front coil a 3 band (may settle on a 2 band but I need to do some research and compatibility with the big split man, Iād also like a passive tone, but I may have to drill my own hole for that. Babicz bridge.
I hope I get a beautiful 1pc. Putting good vibes out there and I trust the process. I asked a rep and they said with customs especially clear finish they search for aesthetically pleasing pieces, and that obviously that is up to the discretion of who gets the order. I have faith in their choices.

I will keep everyone posted. I literally read through every page of the Unofficial Warmoth site, took note of the Black Limba bodies as well as how many people weee disappointed. Theyāve offered 1pc BL bodies before so I had some reference. I canāt wait for this custom build.
Iām already thinking about placing another order for my next build as this is addictingā¦
Dual music man locations filled with Turner Multi-coils wired to a Lusithand Double NFP special. Iāve always wanted to give a filter pre a try and this set up is āWALishā lol. Still padding out details there.
I feel you can get that $4k bass for $2k. I've done it. I have 5 Warmoth J's, three of which share my #1 spot. All professionally assembled. I've been very fortunate and would have issues giving any of them up. Just remember, for all the research and planning (including wood choices), you won't know what you got until it's in your hands. Each of my J's have their own voice and they please me. Warmoths are great instruments, but not guaranteed to meet the expectations in your head.
That body is a beauty and is quite the incentive. Best of luck in that your Warmoth turns out like mine did.
Awesome, I figured as much. I wasnāt sure though. This is my first custom, my others have been used. Didnāt want to call and bother Spike. He was super nice with me when I did call though.
Iāve never ordered anything needing paint, so donāt know if thereās other statuses. For things like necks needing frets installed, it stays āorderedā until the end, goes to āpickedā for a day or two, then when shipped goes to ācapturedā.
I looked up the sales invoice and shipping information from my last Warmoth J-body back in 2021. (There are "reasons" why I keep a separate email address to fulfill all my e-commerce needs. Keep your receipts, y'all! You never know when you might need them again!) It took almost exactly four months for the cut, painted and finished body to arrive.
I canāt wait to share it. Also picked up that short scale z in the classifieds. Ope. Warmoth addiction is real.
Anyone here have experience with multi coils and filter pres? This Short scale Z I feel is a great candidate. Think Iāll go with 32ā scale.
Do a search for āturner multi-coilā. Youāre bound to find several TBāers whoāve used them.
