Looks fantastic! I'd personally go with a mint pg, but that's a gorgeous result.

If anything it only enhances the look - you could drop in some clear lacquer to protect it from spreading if the tactile thing affects the way you play, but it's something I wouldn't hide.  My eyes only registered "That's a killer guitar."

Thanks!  It's gold-anodized aluminum, which I think was Fender's standard for P-Basses in the late 50's?  I didn't expect Olympic White to have such a strong blue-ish tint, but I really really dig the combination.

So I'm more of a guitar player than bassist these days, but the 20% sale hooked me: I'm assembling the P Bass I've always wanted, because...why not?  Just waiting on a roasted maple/unfinished neck, this will have a Nord NP4.  Excited!

Just when I thought I was out, they reeled me back in.. P-Bass forthcoming!  :guitaristgif:

I have two different MIM strat bodies (one with a Warmoth neck) that have different contours when looked at next to one another, but your eye would never tell you either was anything but a Strat - the older body is from a 2000 or 2001 Standard (Midnight Wine) and the forearm countour has pretty...

I want to go to there...

Looks great!  Looking forward to seeing the progress!  :icon_thumright:

Thanks very much!  Giving myself a Strat for the occasion.  :headbang1:

Outstanding Doug!  And yep, it's a nod to my "punctuality."  :icon_jokercolor:

Aye, it's the same body - like you said no pickguard for contrast and there's a fair amount of sunlight hitting it as well - we don't normally get a lot of winter sun in Buffalo, NY, heh.  :icon_biggrin:

Neck and all the hardware has arrived! My first impression is to love the compound radius - bends are super smooth and chords are clear as reported!  I wish I trusted myself to solder, but I need to invest in a proper soldering iron (and invest time practicing) so I'll try that another time on...

I dig it a lot!  Not sure if I understand the mix/matched volume/tone knob styles but I love the overall aesthetic!  :icon_thumright:

:hello2: Yeah that was me, I really like being able to play in F in 6th position vs. 1st, (or B-flat and being able to reach down and grab the F).  I have large enough hands for 1st position but it does definitely fatigue you after a while.
