Details

Super Warmoth P5 five string bass. Comfortable weight at 8 pounds 4 ounces with Great Bones and Big Tones! The guy I got it from on Reverb had it built up largely by Mark Arnquist of Rickenbacker fame (). The neck has carbon rods and a factory Warmoth finish (upcharges!). Smaller, vintage style frets- perfectly level and in super shape with nothing resembling wear and perfectly dressed! Hipshot licensed tuners that feel just like USA ones. The body was finished by Mark in a cool see-through brown over Basswood body- the color like the early to mid 70's Walnut Fender basses. Mark did the wiring for the Bill Lawrence P46 (google rave online reviews) and used top-line linear taper CTS pots. The bridge was installed after purchase by Will Bright () and is just impeccable!! The Kahler bridges are actually the most stable bridges I've ever encountered... A cool 5 with a low B that really works! The bass has some honest play wear as it was the Reverb seller's primary player and faithful companion for 7 years. Not a closet queen but nice! Has that "Ferden" decal that was popular a few years back... Easily removed, on top of factory finish. Schaller straplocks.
Gig bag.

This bass has been on TalkBass a couple of years ago here:

Scale and string spacing at the bridge please!

I'm gonna guess 17.5-18mm at the bridge... The necks can support a 19mm spacing but it is tight... I'll include a link for that... 34" scale...

This bridge is totally adjustable... You can get 19mm, 18mm, etc...

Here's Jack's review left on brightguitars.com following his having the Kahler pro installed:

"I'm impressed. Some mods are well beyond the guitar shop setup tech and require a luthier's sense of craftsmanship. The bottom of the bridge on my Ferden/Warmoth Precision 5 encroached onto the curved part of the body leaving a gap. Will did a very clean job of routing a pocket to lower the bridge and attain full contact. He even finished the now bare wood under the bridge to match. The bass came back well set up and sounding better than ever. The price was quite reasonable. The guy knows his stuff.

J.B."

Familiar and agree with the Bill Lawrence assessment. Question: why the battery pack in the back?
G Rich 5 is correct! Click on the Reverb link in the listing (where I purchased it) for a couple more deets... Thanks!!

A TB'er had asked if it has an asymmetrical neck. I took a photo but, yes, the apex of the roundness of the neck's back is on the bass side... Not noticeable besides comfortable... Also, .850" at the first fret and .950" thick at the twelfth...
