Okay folks, it is a little quiet at this site so one last post from me on this thread. It really is a testament to Warmoth neck and body quality, consistency and accuracy over the years. Again, this Soloist hybrid features a 2009 neck installed on a 2023 body and neck fit is perfect. It sits...

Full disclosure, I watched some vintage Capt Kirk (William Shatner) stuff before this. 99.99% complete. Just need to find volume and tone knobs that look good, feel good and are light weight.

Last installment folks...

Hey guys, did the ferrule install the other day. The most tedious thing IMO. Here is the vid as to my approach.

The neck plates are awesome.  I would be interested in the Warmoth Turtle.  Is a standard sized Warmoth control cavity cover possible?  The images possible could get crazy.  But my requirement would be a conductive metal material since I cover control cavity itself with conductive copper foil...

Apologies if this has been addressed earlier, but I just checked my internet and download speed is 345 Mbps and upload is 36 Mbps.  The new website seems noticeably slower than one would expect for searches.  Even just going back to a previous page, it seems to bog down to the point where I...

I use an old drill myself.  It is like a Harley, very slow but decent torque at low rpms.  The important thing is to have the drill squared up.  For typical on/on/on toggle switches which provide for series (normal), split, and parallel I measure the diameter with a digital caliber, it is...

2 Genz Benz Black Pearl combos with the Tube Store branded preamp and EL84 power tubes. 1 Peavey Bandit 65 circa mid '80s with Eminence Governor speaker. Folks, very interested in doing clones of the mid '80's Peavey Bandit 65 circuit.  I can't tell how many name brand, "reissue" tube amps it...

Wow, no neck dive after installing these.  Will post a vid of how I installed them.  A bass with no neck dive is so much better than one with neck dive.  Highly recommended.

"Fuller" being the concept, is it good or bad?  One reason Warmoth is where I buy guitar necks is the 1 3/4" nut width option.  I like to be able to play chords without muting adjacent strings.  Easy example, open A.  I actually play it Frank Gambale two finger style, but even so, the high e has...

A decade or so ago I stopped by Carmine Street Guitars in Manhattan and owner Rick Kelly whipped out a baggy full of mastodon tusk material he got from Russia he was going to use for neck nuts.  For tuning stability definitely get the TUSQ stuff and even then you have to tweak it to prevent...

Strats are great because of the contours for comfort and upper horn that prevents neck dive.  I usually focus on bodies in the 3 lb 4 - 10 oz range, preferably chambered.

When I was just learning about the relevance of tone wood I happen to stop by Carmine Street Guitars in Manhattan.  The owner said was an associate of PRS before PRS was big time.  He had a giant piece of ebony holding the front door open.  He was one of the first guys to discuss the microscopic...

One more...and there are even more!    :headbanging: I1aXznM8N70
