I may have posted this pic elsewhere on the forum, didn't realize these new subcategories existed. Warmoth Swamp Ash body in tobacco sunburst Warmoth quartersawn Brazilian Ebony neck w/ Brazilian Ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets Lindy Fralin pickup (standard wind) Gotoh 201 bridge...

An acquaintance on another forum showed me a bass he'd built using an unfinished body, and the only treatment he applied was "Butcher's Boston Polish Amber Paste Wax" He says he sanded the body to 320 grit, applied two coats of this paste wax, polished [sic] it with paper towels, and that was...

The story thus far: - first coat of Minwax water-based Helmsman Spar varnish, applied with a synthetic bristle brush; let dry 72 hours - sand lightly with 220 and 320 grit pads - second coat of Minwax water-based Helmsman Spar varnish, wiped on with fine cotton rag; let dry 72 hours - sand...

Confession: I not only have next to zero experience applying finishes, I also have next to zero patience  :) That being said, I'm now in the process of applying a clear satin Minwax water-based Helmsman Spar Urethane finish to the raw Padouk neck and body I recently acquired from Warmoth...

Someone on another forum just told me that all Warmoth "unfinished" necks and bodies actually do have a Sanding Sealer applied before they get shipped out. Can anyone confirm? And if true, is there anything one must do to/with/about this Sanding Sealer before applying a finish? thanks

Starting the build. Original concept documented here: https://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=30311.0 Just Out Of The Box here: https://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=32193.0 Last night I did a temporary mock-up, attaching the neck and installing the bridge and tuning...

Just out of the box! (Well, the body has been here for a couple weeks, the neck just arrived today.) Dis gon be good! Solid Padouk Telecaster body rear-routed for (3) pickups and Schaller hardtail bridge, tummy & elbow bevels. Padouk Tele neck (Standard thin, modern construction, 10-16"...

By "easiest" I mean...well, everything: Easiest to apply (especially), easiest to acquire, easiest to use in terms of the demands it makes on tools or infrastructure... iow, I don't have a paint booth or a spray gun or experience (!) or even necessarily a well-ventilated space to work in; I...

So I'm ordering a new Warmoth neck for a new guitar, and I'm agonizing over what fret size to choose. All my other Warmoth experiences (two instruments) were basses...and one of those was fretless. And the other one, to be honest, I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the frets I chose. But I'm going...

Trying to wrap my head around what could be causing this...seems like it should be obvious, but I just want to run it by the brain trust to make sure I'm not totally off base. I just wired up a Warmoth P Bass, with a Lindy Fralin pickup and a traditional passive harness pre-wired from...

A simple suggestion, really: Rather than selling pickguard screws as a 12-pack, how about selling them Qty = Each ...so that when you're building a P-Bass that requires 13 freakin' screws you're not standing there at the end with your dick in your hand going "WTF?!?!?" :::angryface:::

Wasn't sure if I should post this in the Neck Woods or Body Woods sub-fora, so instead I'm posting here: I'm rather fond of Padouk. Perhaps obsessively so. And I've just gotten it into my head that I should build a solidbody guitar with a Padouk neck and a Padouk body. (Ebony fingerboard.) I...

neck and body both from the showcase: tobacco sunburst Swamp Ash, and quarter-sawn Brazilian Ebony (w/ a Brazilian Ebony fingerboard) All other parts are still incoming: - Lindy Fralin pickup - Gotoh 201 bridge - Schaller BML tuners - tort pickguard This is my third Warmoth, but the first...

I just ordered a Warmoth P Bass body and was looking around for pickguards from sources other than Warmoth. The folks at WD Music seem to have outdone themselves in terms of positioning their company as the place to go for pickguards...but holy crap are there a lot of options...

As I've been threatening for the past two or three years, I'm about to (no, really!) try a Minwax Wipe-On Poly finish on my Warmoth bass body (alder w/ quilted maple top cap...currently raw/unfinished). I got the Satin Finish poly because I don't want a glossy/shiney finish. Given that, would...

Anyone have any recommendations for pickups in a 6-string (BEADGC) Gecko bass? I'm leaning towards something that I can use passively, but that will also work with an active preamp/eq if I so desire ...and who am I kidding? I'll probably desire that 5 minutes after I get the passive electronics...

I recently installed a brand new Bartolini NTMB 3.4 preamp into a bass equipped with a Bartoloni MV52CBJD pickup. Sounds fantastic! Really fat, present, warm yet clear... ...also really loud! Like, seriously conspicuously much hotter than any of my other active basses (some of which are...

I'm thinking of installing a Bartolini NTMB preamp/EQ (aka HR-3.4/918) in my still-under-construction Warmoth 5-string fretless bass, just wondering if anyone has first-hand experience installing or using these electronics? http://www.bartolini.net/product/hr-3-4918-2/ ...

So, for inexplicable reasons -- well, no, they're not inexplicable, they're just indefensible: I thought I wanted the output jack in a very specific location...and then realized it honestly didn't matter -- I ordered a Warmoth body without the side jack rout. So now I've got to drill a 3/4"...
