Awesome, and your picture is much better than mine. The feel of wenge wasn't quite what I was expecting, but i definitely like it.

Very nice.  I kept going back and forth between wenge/ebony and bubinga on the neck.

Thanks for the comments guys  :icon_thumright: It's a solid body.  I had picked up a Delano SBC5 HE/S set which fits an EMG 40 route.  Luckily, they also make the pickup in the P2 shape, so that's most likely what I'll end up with.  Nordy's would probably be my next choice. I'll see what I can...

Haha, good to have an approved combo ;D I'm planning on Tru-Oil, maybe topped off with some poly-u after I let the Tru-Oil dry for a good while.

I received my Deluxe Jazz body and neck from Warmoth this past Friday.  I'm extremely pleased with the way the body turned out.  It was routed with the wrong pickup size, but I actually like the look of this size better so I'm trying to exchange the pickups I bought for this for the same pickups...

I finished this a few months ago but never got around to taking pictures of it until yesterday.  It's a Deluxe Z in alder, finished black by Warmoth, routed for standard 4-string sized jazz pickups (I have SGD Jazzbuckers).  The neck is maple with bloodwood fretboard and black binding and block...

Very nice, love the wood, especially the pegface.  :headbang: What's the measurement from the nut to the bridge saddles on that?  I just got my J5 and neck in yesterday.  The measurement from the nut to the 12th fret is 17" like you'd expect, but from the nut to the bridge saddles (Hipshot...

Not sure how I posted this in the finishing section.  :icon_scratch: Sorry!

Help me fund my latest Warmoth bass project!  I have several items up for sale from an abandoned guitar project.  I can work out a discount for anyone buying more than one item. http://www.jimmyt.net/p/bgpups1.JPG http://www.jimmyt.net/p/bgpups2.JPG I've never wired these in.  Asking $50 for...

Very, very nice.  Love that purple, too.

Cool, thanks for the encouragement.  I'm sure I'll get there someday :)

Wow, I love the body shape.  Wish I had the balls and know-how to make my own body.

I recently bought a Z5 with jazz bass pickups from warmoth, as well.  I'd say you have pretty good taste  :laughing11: :laughing7: Slightly OT: does anyone know if a Carvin N522 neck would fit the deluxe 5 neck pocket?  The specs look pretty close.

The super glue I used was Loctite brand.  It was labeled Precision Max.  It lists 15-30 second dry time, so I'm guessing a medium-ish viscosity.  I've tried a couple different ways of applying the glue.  First I tried putting the glue on the neck then spreading it with the back of some...

Not much interest in this topic, but I thought I'd give an update.  I've been finishing my new bass neck with some super glue over the past few days, and it's going really well.  I'm ready to polish up the neck and then mask everything off but the pegface to do some priming and painting to match...
