Quick update: I finished crashing my way thru re-tooling my neck plate procedure. All of my programs and fixtures had to be re-done. I think 6X #10 screws (a la Music Man, G&L, etc) will work just fine. I got a chance to try my “Kitty Litter Scooper” and boy did it pay off! This device now...

I missed it - is this satin over Cinder Red? Or burgundy mist??? It looks awesome!!!

Pumped to get this one going! Long story long: I had a perfect 2011 Fender American Special Precision -trimmed out as a "Jamerson" tribute- which looked, played, and sounded great. Unfortunately, as a lifelong Jazz player, the lack of offset really threw me off my game (when seated), and so I...

Always a soft spot for pearl blocks in maple, cheers!

I spent a lot of time debating inlaid polished aluminum / 1pc raised nameplate, and I think either case woluld make a complete mess of the CAR *or* look cheesy (or both). I’m just hoping for some gloss black vinyl cut that I can stick on / repair as necessary. I got into it with 2 different...

"Hey should we honor Larry Graham, a massive bass pioneer who famously whipped a Jazz Bass around, with a signature bass? Nah, instead, let's make TWO different signature basses for the guy in U2 WHICH HE WON'T EVEN PLAY LIVE." -Fender, probably So, rather than wait for this to happen, I got to...

Also FWIW, McMaster-Carr sells stubby wrenches as “looseys” for those who are unable to mod their own: Stubby Ball-End L-Key with Single Ball-End, 7/32" Size https://www.mcmaster.com/product/7139N21

An old “square” extension, excellent! What’s the story on the V2 knob - rotary switch?

I used to think string / polepiece alignment was a bunch of BS…until I built a 6 string using 4 string pickups. There is a noticeable imbalance between strings. A decent passive P isn’t too much $, and you can probably get most of it back if you sell the 5-string set. Good luck either way!

X2 - appreciate this build and the “capture” of the color, it’s insanely good!

That sucker is FLAMEY!!! Nice work!

Neat O!!! Love the colors and exceptional workmanship.

I don’t mean to speak for the Warmoth corp, but, just because (something) isn’t on the “regular menu” doesn’t mean they won’t do it. For one thing, there are so many hyper-specific combos / specs that the catalog could never accurately cover them all. For another thing, chances are good other...

I hasten to add: I’m glad I optioned 6100 jumbos. The roundwound grind (from countless Rotosound 66 sets) in the first 5 frets was VERY BAD!!!

Bolted together sometime in 1996, this puppy saw hard "one-and-only" action until approx. 2012, when I decommissioned it for a neckplate which would not stay tight. Stage antics, pratfalls, real falls, general drunken mayhem, college (but I repeat myself), sound guys booting it completely off...
