Ditto, that red is amazing. How was it done?Damn, man! That transparent red over flame maple is flippin' killer!
I'm not a P-bass kinda guy, but that body gets me thinking…
Wenge neck fits it well. Please join the wenge neck club if not already a member.
I would describe the combination as voodooesque. Dark magic.Damn, man! That transparent red over flame maple is flippin' killer!

Just wow ! And the black hardware is a perfect match for this bass.
This is mine, from 2016: Warmoth body in swamp ash chambered, Precision Neck with black blocks, pickups Seymour Duncan Apollo.

That is really nice -- well done!
I just recently put an EMG PJAX set into one of my Godin Freeway 4 basses and I am thrilled with it. EMG makes such good stuff.
The Dinky J (my fav body shape) getting a little love on the Warmoth YouTube channel:
Is there no longer a way to get RSS feeds for their in-stock bodies and necks? I don’t want to have to manually check the site every day.
Hello - I need some help.
I have a Warmoth short scale P bass and I need a good case - and help please.
thanks Lennyj

30 or 32 inch? I suggest finding a similar bass on SW using their filters, and see what case they recommend for it.
I’ve read that the Gator GC-ELEC-XL Deluxe ABS Molded Case for Extra Long Baritone Guitar case works for short scale basses but I have not yet tried one myself. I have medium and short scale. Several of the Gator cases look like they’ll work fine for shorter basses, just giving you some empty space above the headstock but keeping the body locked in place.
Also on the topic, I hate that Warmoth won’t drill “standard” tuning peg holes on their medium and short scale necks. Not only that, but you have to PAY THEM AN EXTRA $15 to drill no holes at all! And then pay a luthier to drill holes for you. 
Weird. I’ve never made a short scale so was unaware of this. I guess they have a bunch of the Schaller BML tuners they need to clear out.Also on the topic, I hate that Warmoth won’t drill “standard” tuning peg holes on their medium and short scale necks.

The two Warmoths I’ve built and still own I used the Fender lightweight tuners with the little mounting pegs Warmoth drills for but now I want to build another using Hipshot lollipop tuners so I just want normal peg holes drilled.Weird.

Do I own a drill press? Yes (a cheapo model). Am I going to chance my own drilling skills on a $400+ neck? No.
The hack is to settle for standard holes and buy a reamer to enlarge the diameter to that of your intended tuner dimension.Also on the topic, I hate that Warmoth won’t drill “standard” tuning peg holes on their medium and short scale necks.

It's a numbskull way to operate the way Warmoth does, if you intend to provide customer service. However, the nickle-and-dime business model is prevailant because it is profitable.
I know it's not answering your question but damn I really want one of these. Lovely bass! The playability and timbre of a medium-scale P must be unreal. I have a 32" J from Warmoth (for which I just use a regular gig-bag, not a special case) and spend all my time on the neck pickup despite normally being a both- or bridge pickup player. I love LPB but I think I'd probs do Sherwood green metallic satin as a first-choice.
