Very nice indeed
I have an important question to you all Warmoth owners.
If I order a Warmoth Jazz body and Nordstrand jazz pickups, will they fit directly into the body? Do they come with springs? Or do i need to buy them separately?

Warmoth will take the model and number of your exact pickups and make the route for them. When you call to buy the body, the will ask you for the model of the pickup and what your prefered placement for them is. Since there are generally 3 places neck, center and bridge, that is where they will put the p'up
Actually i know this, my question was badly asked. I know how Warmoth works when it comes to p-up routing ( shape and position).
I was actually asking about how they fit physically in the rout. Do they come with springs? They're ready to be installed?

You will need to check with Nordstrand to see if they supply pickup hardware. You can use springs, but you can also use foam underneath the pickup.
Ok thanks for the answer!
Regarding maple fretboards, do they come unfinished or do they get a satin varnish?

"Salut
je suppose que c'est difficile de lire toutes les options en anglais"
I think it may be tough to read all options if English is not your first language but you have the choice of finishing it yourself, or let Warmoth finish it with satin nitro or gloss poly on maple fretboards. I let them finish the maple/maple board/neck and it came out very nice.
Indeed english is not my first language, but I'm doing pretty good with it actually. The thing is I saw the option for the neck but not for fingerboard, that's why I'm asking. But after a second look, it seems that I misread and missed the info which is clearly there. My bad.
Anywayz, I don't like gloss maple fretboards... And after all I was gonna go for a rosewood fretboard

hopefully I did not come off as insulting. French is my first language, BTW
Nice! got a pic of the back?
And no, you didn't come off as insulting, no problem
sure do
Thats some gorgeous birdseye, joey, stunning neck there. Wheres the rest of the bass? Pics please.
I just got my first warmoth neck recently, flame maple with a canary fretboard, they sure have some killer woods.

When I got my Warmoth parts, I also got something that I thought was a waterslide decal. You know, the turtle and the name. Today I found out that they are two stickers.
Anyone else got those? Because I read that most people get waterslide decals.
And can I cover them with some lacquer so they don't fray? My bass neck has the clear satin finish, so any idea as to what lacquer I should use over the stickers and the color remains the same, would be most welcome.

Thanks for the inside info. Do you have any ideas as to how can I help the stickers stay permanently and protected there?
Will Warmoth do a reverse P route? Specifically, I'd want one on one of the short/medium scale Jazz bodies.
Yup, The Nordstrand Jazz pickups fit perfect into the rout/body on the Jazz body. But the Nordstrand pickups don't come with any springs...They only come with chrome screws..I just put a pair of Nordstrand NJ4's in my Warmoth short scale body and used the foam strips that Warmoth sells on their site and I ordered Black pickup screws from Warmoth also..Works great..No springs needed
