Hello, I'm looking at another Warmoth bass. Does anyone who has ordered it know if the Music Man 'Sweet spot' routing is where a Music Man Stingray bass pickup is located? Failing that, if you have one, could you measure from nut to the pickup edge and let me know what measurement it is...

Hello, I need some help! I have a basic understanding on wiring, but I'm now out of my depth... I have got an East mid sweep that I planned to put in my passive jazz thats wired with a blend pot. (Diagram attached) When wiring up the preamp I managed to wire it upside down which meant the 9v...

Just realised that I never added my Gecko to this collection, so here it is. Body - Gecko Narrow 5 Owner finished with Tru-oil Mahogany with flame koa Top and a maple accent line Mahogany wood control cavity cover Neck - Gecko Narrow 5 Owner finished with Tru-oil (peghead veneer only) Wenge...

Not sure if this is a known issue, or if anyone else is having the same issue, but I thought I'd mention that if i go to 'unofficialwarmoth.com' I just get "410 Gone". It's been like that for quite a while now. Screen shot below

Hello, I want to wire my flame maple jazz up with a series parallel switch, but i would like to wire it up with Vol/Blend/Tone controls instead of the standard Vol/Vol/Tone. I can find wiring diagrams for either one but not both together. I assume that this would be possible, but does anyone...

Hello, I'm nearly at the stage of putting strings on my mahogany/Koa Gecko and wondered what other people are using? I use ernie ball nickel round wounds on my jazz fretless which sounds great, but it's starting to mark the fretboard. I'm after a similar tone, so a bit of growl, but something...

I managed to get this jazz bass from a guy in the UK and I thought that this would be a great body to try my first dye finish. My plan is to do a sanded back black dye, followed by an amber/Gold dye. And depending what that looks like, I may have a brown burst around the edge, though I'm not...

I might try a natural masked binding and I want to do a washed black dye finish? I've heard you spray a sealer to stop it seeping through. Is this still the case with dye? If so, Do I do this over the whole top or just where the tape is? Also, any particular type of tape that's best to use...

Making a start on this as soon as I can. I have all the parts, just need to buy a hipshot bridge. I plan on a tru oil finish, and a delano quad coil humbucker wired straight to the output jack. I might include a switch in the control cavity to easily change from series parallel and single...

Hello all, I was engineering a Motown theatre show last weekend and the bass player had a G&L bass with a finish called 'Black Ice'. It looked great, and I was wondering if anyone here has any idea how its done? I'd like to give it a go someday, maybe with some different combinations...

Hello, This isn't really a 'Just out of the box' so sorry for misleading you all, but I had to tell someone about it.  :cool01: I've been waiting for Warmoth to add some flame Koa tops and I managed to bag one! Specs are as follows. Body: Mahogany with white accent line and a unique choice...

Hello, I'm a regular 5 string player and I've been contemplating a 5 string fretless jazz or gecko and I'm wondering how the low B sounds on a fretless. Seems to be a lot about, just never really had a play with one. I'm basically looking to either build a 5 string fretless, or pimp my current...

I think I've settled on a mahogany body for a fretless deluxe jazz, I've heard some great fretless basses with a mahogany body, but I'm undecided on a neck. My current deluxe jazz has a Wenge/ebony neck, but not sure if I'd need something with a little more top end to go with mahogany. I'm after...

Hello, I'm looking to order a gecko with a quilt maple top, and I'd like to do a washed black dye myself. So any advise on how to achieve the finish below. What kind of dye etc... The burst around the edge, could this be achieved with dye or is that a spray job? I was hoping to just use dye...

Hello, I've been looking at a Small Gecko 5 string fretless, and I just wanted to hear some experiences with the larger 35" scale. I'm 5' 7" and i don't have the biggest of hands, but i have been told the feel can all depend on the bass construction. My Warmoth Deluxe 5 I have just built is...

Hey, I'd like a walnut top like the gecko pictured below, does anyone know if this is what you get when ordering a normal walnut top, or is the a result of a unique choice? Figured walnut isn't an option on the body builder, so maybe someone could tell me if it ever was? Or if you have a...

Hello, I'm looking at getting a Gecko 5 string fretless with a Wenge neck and an ebony fingerboard. Not sure what body wood to go for. I like the idea of mahogony, and I've heard some great fretless basses made from it, I just think it might weigh a lot by the end. Tone wise I'm after a nice...

Hello, I'm looking into getting a gecko (small or medium) fretless 5 string. I want to get it unlined and I was wondering if the bigger fret markers on the gecko are a pain to use over standard round markers? I would've thought you don't have an exact point of reference like you would with...

Hello, I had a thought that I'd quite like to re finish my Warwick Corvette Standard. It has a natural oil finish with what looks like a brown grain filler. I'm wanting to put on a black grain filler with a lime green stain. I will be sanding it back to wood, but I doubt ill be able to get...
