Cool so any insight into the wood choices? im thinking of calling this bass the Warjazz cuz its a jazz bass in shape and pickups, but warwick in wood and hardware, provided i can get that hardware installed.

Listen to Stevie Wonder - I Believe (When I Fall In Love), im pretty sure the bass in that song is made with a synth.  It sounds like that sound could be achieved with a volume pedal and a long sustaining note.  Now that is a case where long sustain could make musical sense.  Another thing im...

Thanks! i guess i should have said i want to get the most sustain i can without it weighing a ton.  i may go for a warwick 2 piece bridge and a just-a-nut.  Im also considering the angled headstock, the jazz head looks cool but i think the angle will make for better playability.  However i have...

Okay i've had a few days to rethink my wood choices in this bass.  Im going to go for a fretless bass where the main idea is sustain.  The tone i want is deep detailed lows with more high midrange than low.  I'd also like there to be nice clear high end but not overly harsh.  I want there to be...

Hi I'm new to this forum.  Does anyone know if the bass in this song is done with synth?  It sounds like a fretless bass and a volume pedal could do it, just so long as the bass could sustain for that long.  Makes me want to make a fretless jazz for my new project.  If anyone knows if there are...

Yea im planning on getting it set up and assembled professionally and theres a buzz feiten licensed store 3 hours away from me.  I just e-mailed them - i might get my parts shipped to them too.

Its definitely available for bass, Washburn makes some of their basses with it pre-installed.  As for tuning i agree having good technique and ear is very important, more so than good gear.  If i have the option of building a bass that will be in tune perfectly ill go for it however.  Having a...

Has anyone put a Buzz Feiten tuning system on a warmoth?  I'm going to put together a 5 string jazz style bass with a TK5 bridge.

Okay so what would give me the best response to different tone settings.  I read a post about a walnut body with maple neck/ rose wood board and it was described as being very responsive to tone settings.  Im kinda stuck on wenge and ebony for the neck but the body is up in the air.  Im leaning...

I saw the tone o meter, looking for first hand experience with these woods.  Also the combination of wood is something to consider.

Okay well i might as well do something different than a plain jazz since i can't get what i want looks wise.  How would a wenge neck / ebony board sound?  Why is korina such a popular choice for bodies? I made my plan b choice based on peoples responses to bass made like this.  I really have...

Well i guess i just really like the look of black blocks and binding.  But I'm new to unique woods and so on so i don't really know what i can do with all these options.  I guess i just wanted a jazz bass plain and simple with black blocks and binding, since i had jazz bass parts to begin with. ...

I Don't know how different these woods are sound wise.  basically with the maple neck plan i just wanted it for the looks with the blocks/binding.  since i cant get this look for this bass i want to get something unique.  I know i want really awesome jazz bass and that's all i know for now.  I...

Yea i thought so Plan B Wenge neck ebony board. Korina body with some kind of top?  Maybe spalted maple with masking or white binding.

Hi all. So I've had a j-retro preamp (in black), and some Nordstrand NJ5FS 5 string jazz bass pickups for i project i started a year ago but never finished.  I also have a badass V bridge in black.  So i think im gonna finish this thing up now, i checked with warmoth and they will top rout for...
