So In the near future, I finally think I am going to get my first Warmoth neck.. I thought about getting one for a long time but I went with Carvin for my last 3 builds.. this time though, since Carvin doesnt do fender headstocks, figured I may try Warmoth if this is the project im doing. With...

are the frets stainless steel??

So everyones only allowed to visit one forum? I do post on both of the Carvin ones often. Im just saying, this isnt the first ive heard of warmoth issues, and its pretty apparent I made the right choice not to go with them. Its not just "they wouldnt do my paintjob" cause I was about to order...

Go with Carvin, they have the best customer service ever. They never let me down, but my one dealing with Warmoth so far has also been slightly disappointing (customer service was bad, so I didnt even order, im gonna stick with Carvin)

well I am pretty positive I am going for a full blown Carvin custom. They can do the finish (its already been done, real life pictures!) and its just a small tad bit more than Warmoth's standard finishes.. so, its a no brainer. Maybe ill consider a Warmoth guitar body someday, since I dont have...

no interest in any warmoth headstock shapes, not interested in carving a shape myself from a paddle headstock, esp when the price is more.

Well, I tried and the warmoth rep that emailed me back said Warmoth couldnt do my options I wanted, No paintjob like that and no extra 2 control knob routes.. No response on the topic of bridge spacings either. So I think I am going to get a custom Carvin bolt instead, it will be cheaper, they...

I dont think so, because the difference is if I am playing for something that is MINE forever like a paintjob, that is different than long distance because this is the only company that doesnt have a toll-free number.. I order from Carvin all the time, and their toll free number makes it so...

First off, does anyone have a ballpark idea what the upcharge of my custom paintjob would be? Its basically like a tobacco burst or something, with the caribbean burst sides.. Would that be like, a $100 increase? $200?? $300?? I cant call them (too expensive) and waiting for emails is...

well. Im canadian, and I just read that Warmoth isnt a toll-free number? Guess I wont be calling them. Hopefully I can get a response in email

I've really come accustomed to the Caribbean burst, so I may just go with that, but ill try calling to ask about my "Skyburst" (as I call it).. but It is iffy, not knowing how something will turn out, where I can at least see pictures of caribbean bursts and know kinda what I'll be getting...

So what would work best in my situation, on a Bass body with a quilt top from the showcase? I am leaning towards that Caribbean burst if I can't get my custom colors..

the Carvin bass specs are here = http://www.carvinguitars.com/catalog/necks/index.php?model=n522 and Warmoth Deluxe 5 seems to match up here = http://www.warmoth.com/Bass/Options/BassNeckPocket.aspx So I think it may work.. Hmm

Im also curious about this, anyone try it yet? I think im about to try it, from my own measurements it looks like it should fit, altho the Carvin website specs are off greatly.. (even from my B5 kit, which looks like it will fit)

I have afew questions if some kind people dont mind answering. First off, When does this sale end? I think im gonna order something this week, I hope it lasts until then at least! Just need some info before I commit to anything. First - Whats the differences between a Dye and Transparent...
