    No Earvana on angled headstocks ??? :*(

    Here's the story: 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...

    Short scale bass and medium scale bass

    Me too!  Only semi-hollow, with a f-hole. ;)

    Short scale bass and medium scale bass

    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. ...

    Short scale bass and medium scale bass

    Yep, the shorty necks have their own contour and it's thinner than our standard bass profile.

    Unusual question on radius

    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...

    Unusual question on radius

    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.

    Short scale bass and medium scale bass

    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.

    Fender Bass VI (30" scale, not baritone)

    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...

    Yep, J's only at this point.  What other shapes would you guys like to see?

    One short scale body, two interchangeable necks, one 30" and one 32" scale.

    Fender Bass VI (30" scale, not baritone)

    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...
