Warmoth Suggestions!

[J. Crawford]

I thought you liked Ebony though?

Rosewood really isn't the best fingerboard material because it's not very durable. Were you going to use flats on this bass like on your P bass, or were you going to use roundwounds?

I love ebony, but I dont want to limit myself to it seeing Im still semi new to fretless. If its not my thing, Ill trade it off or sumfin!

How about something like this with a J pickup? It's a carved P bass body which I'm assuming is meant for bass guitar.....

Im not a fan of the "dinky" bodies from Warmoth.

Okay.. Im think Im set on getting a Jazz bass body, but now I need to decide on:

Paint?
Showcase body?
Natural body with a top and oil/lacquer finish?

If paint, or burst, what should I get?
Pickups? PJ? PMM? JMM? JPJ? HH?

I have been wanting a Jazz bass, so its kinda obvious to me now.

And no black! I hate black bass bodies.

How about this? The black hardware will really set it off.

I really think you should use this opportunity to make a Fenderbird. Get one of those nice T-bird bodies they have.

+1 on the pastels. Seafoam green, Daphne Blue, Sonic Blue. Would look awesome with black hardware too.

It looks like Ill be selling my current neck now instead of trading it.

Now it comes down to, buy a Warmoth bass, or save for a few months and get an Atkinson which I have longed for for a long while now.

What is an Atkinson? Never heard of them.

Inca silver J bass routed for J+J. Very classy for funk, jazz, and rock.

I already have an inca silver P bass, so I think Ill pass on two of the same color.

Im thinking something burst, or a color thats a bit different but not crazy.

Thats nice! Now you have to get a neck, more body shapes open up.

 

[J. Crawford]

Yes, but now that the neck is gone and not traded Im having second thoughts about the project. I was basing the project around not having to buy a new neck, but now that that would be necessary Im thinking maybe Ill just buy a whole new bass come my birthday.

Or start building it then.

I guess well see when the time comes. Im loving the suggestions though guys! Keep em coming!

Well, I was a mouse click away from ordering a 5 string Gecko from warmoth. I chickened out because of the unknowns, and I found a Warwick for less money than it would have cost me to do it the way I wanted.

Now they have 20% off. It is really tempting.

I agree. something that screams style. a painted jazz is one of the millions. i agree a sea-foam jazz is really cool, however a natural exotoc wood fender-bird is one of well....there it is.
