There’s a lot of good videos from @aarontunes on the Warmoth channel, this one is probably of particular interest Warmoth handles most of the craftsmanship. I highly recommend using their finishing service (seems expensive but is really quite a value). That’s half the battle. What Warmoth...

Input = front mounted jack. No need to get one if you’re getting a side jack rout too, but the traditional jazz bass layout has the jack on the front.

From iPhone there’s a little icon in the bottom right of the photo selection that lets you resize and choose format.

I like the test and ultimately I agree with the point you made in the opinion section that some EQ could bridge the gap even with the different pickups. For the SSB I built, I went to a 49-109 gauge set of strings to offset the loss of tension which I think contributes to the longer scale bass...

I decided to take this a different route and am working on that in a separate thread - but that goldtop certainly does spark some ideas!

I ordered these, thanks!

You can hog it out with a forstner bit very quickly.

Getting anything pink to match is proving difficult.

It looks fine, I much prefer that charred wood one you posted from Lohengrin Woodworks. But honestly I think the fire pine is the wood I’d want to highlight and for that a simple 1-ply Bakelite guard would do the trick.

Why add Tru Oil over poly? I’d leave it. It’s gorgeous!

This was a great build to follow. Absolutely promo. You’ve been completed for a bit - still digging the Alumitones?

The only elliptical I recognize is the thing holding my laundry in the spare room.

Isn’t it nice to have so many choices? But the superstrat is hardly a Warmoth exclusive design.

I REALLY like this Duplicolor primer. It’s like half paint half bondo, sands beautifully. Hoping to shoot two more coats today and get color on this weekend.

The Nomad is such a great take on that shape. I really like it. It’s more balanced than the Destroyer which I think it took some influence from.
