So am I to assume Gotoh Resolites fit the pre-drilled Fender Size tuner holes, or did you drill'em? I only ask because I'm interested in putting that style on a P project I have in mind.
They are for Fender 11/16" hole . They fit perfectly on the Warmoth with bushings in place . The bushings were tight but I pressed them by hand with a "F" clamp and did not crack anything
though I held my breath

Thanks, fretno!
Woohoo! Picture update on my three pickup Warmoth build. I got a couple from my tone guy, Michael at Turnstyle switch. Looking good so far!
Cocobolo.. the body is a pain in the ass from: eBay that I wish I had spent on warmoth
i placed an order for my 2nd warmoth build. i went with a trans brown p-bass body and a p-bass neck with 20 vintage sized stainless steel frets, black block inlays, and a vintage tint gloss finish. oh, and a black pickguard. goin with a Gotoh 201 bridge and Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup. i got a swamp ash body just under 5lbs, here's pics of the body i picked:

sweet, what are the pickup combinations?
I have three Fender split-coil Super 55 J pickups, two neck + one bridge, spaced 2" apart.
Or were you asking about switch positions?

Nope. One of the things I absolutely hate about strats is the lack of ability to get all three pickups on at the same time. (The other thing is the single coil noise. Other than that, they are great guitars.) There are no switches on the bass, other than a single rotary switch.
Here's what you're looking at:
In line are four concentric controls. A volume/tone for each individual pickup, and a master volume/tone (closest to the jack). The pickup tone controls are only to take the edge off the highs, they don't have the full range of a standard tone control.
The other control is a 6-way selector switch. In the first position, I have manual control over all pickups with the individual volume/tone controls. If I want one or two or three pickups, I use the individual pickup volume to select/drop/mix each pickup, then I use the master volume/tone to control the mix.
The other five switch positions are tone presets. They are:
P-bass
J-bass
Ric
T-bird
Overdrive
When using any of the presets, the individual pickup controls are bypassed and only the master volume/tone have any effect.
Note: Apparently, under normal circumstances, it is a bad idea to have two tone controls in-line. (I say "apparently" because I am not an electronics guy, but I am told this by electronics guys.) However, Michael developed a proprietary solution based on what I wanted. It (the bass) is undergoing final assembly and testing right now. Upon successful test completion, he will be adding a signature tone option to his lineup, and I will become an endorsing artist.
Tentative answer is yes, since they both make an effort to be Fender-compatible. But you have to be a whole lot more specific to know anything more than that.

If I were to order a body that was drilled for Gotoh 201 would a standard BadAss II bridge fit? I am looking at a showcase body pre drilled for Gotoh 201 but would like to use a BadAss bridge.
