Thanks so much! I can work with this.

I'm about to install a nut in a Deluxe 5 Jazz neck. The neck is 1 7/8" wide (the wider of the two options). I should have bought an installed nut from Warmoth, but I wanted to use bone and they didn't offer it. Does anyone here have the string spacing (center-to-center) for a 1 7/8" deluxe 5...

Thanks to both of you! I knew about him already (used him for a 3-ply black guard in the past), but I wasn't sure if his tort is any redder/brighter than Warmoth's. Can you show me a photo? I did look at his materials gallery, but that doesn't always tell the story, especially on a computer...

I don't know if you're referring here ONLY to Precisions, but they do offer '70s pickup spacing on their Jazz bass bodies.

These are tough to find. Warmoth's pickguards are pretty, but they (and everyone else, it seems) use brown-ish material. I'd like to see a brighter red option. I know there's a company called Spitfire that makes gorgeous guards in many colors, but they offer so many options that the price is...

They offer a four-fret overhang on their 4-string necks and a two-fret overhang on the Deluxe 5 necks.

I'd love to see these options available.

I think it does add up, tho I realize not everyone agrees. Anyone can peel backing off an adhesive and slap it onto a finished headstock, but you won't find too many luthiers who choose to do it this way. To me, it's the difference between a "Warmoth parts bass" and a "Warmoth bass". One is a...

Additionally, Warmoth has to protect its brand. They have no idea of the buyer's skills, and they're right to be concerned about having a third party see a bass with brush-on paint in globs and a couple of tuner screw holes drilled all the way thru the headstock. I remember that Martin used to...

Thanks for the tip- your PRS body looks like very nice work! When will you have a picture of it?

I'd love to be able to shape and drill my own Deluxe 5 Bass headstock.

It would really be nice if Warmoth offered these along with their four-string blanks. I'd also like to request that the tummy cut and forearm contour be shaped as well (that's the most difficult part to do with few tools, and the only thing that's kept me from making several bodies from Warmoth...
