Making an Earvana nut for tilt-back install: Easy
Milling a tilt-back neck so said Earvana nut works properly: Easy
Milling a tilt-back neck so said Earvana nut looks like it was professionally installed: Really Hard/Expensive (for Warmoth)
They could make tilt-back...
The recommended string spacing at the bridge is 19mm, and this does pull the strings in a bit narrower compared to the polepieces on stock jbass pickups.
Neither - it's based on a real Fender MIJ 32" scale Jbass, which is like a downsized vintage J with a smaller bulge where the controls go. ...
What I understood was that he wants a compound radius across the fretboard rather than along it, so that each fret has a sort of a mild spiral curve rather than a single radius. this would be impossible to do with Warmoth's current radiusing machine. To do it mechanically you'd have to have...
Sure it could be done, and I'm sure it would play just fine, too. Fretting it would be a huge pain from a manufacturing standpoint, however. You'd either need a weird set of custom-machined fret cauls for an arbor press or to hammer them in by hand.
Yep. Around here we call this the "Warhead", though I'm not crazy about the name. We offer some version of this shape on nearly all of our necks by special request, and everything that's not a Fender replacement part (like this) gets it too.
Hopefully the neck and body prototypes will be ready for stringing up and testing by early next week. If all goes well, you should start seeing these parts hitting the showcase in a couple of weeks, with regular build-to-order pages following on the website at some point after that.
While...
What we're tenatively calling our "Jazzmaster Bass 6" has a 30"-scale, 24 fret neck with an 1 11/16" nut width. The body is essentially our stock Jazzmaster shape but with the upper horn extended about an inch. You'll be able to get it top-routed with a Jazzmastery-style pickguard with an...
