I was going for something akin to the Warwick JC bass. I liked the sound of it both in the video of Justin playing it, but also the video of Carry playing his bass with the pickups in there. I really liked the visual aspects of the Warwick bass and got most of it with Warmoth. I did go with the...

I had to call for that. I would recommend if there is something not on the website to give them a call. I had to do that twice with this bass. Great people to deal with btw.

This is my second Warmoth bass build Specs are as close as I could get to the bass Warwick built for Justin Chancellor (17-3377) Body/Electronics: Bubinga G4 shape 2x Nordstrand BigManBlade pickups with a custom Nordstrand 3band preamp. Controls are 500k volume, 250k ungrounded blend pot, mid...

It's solid bubinga no lam top. The first post is with white spirits on it to show the grain. Thank you, here are some more pics with Tung Oil, and a bubinga control cover. I'll post the full build in the proper place once the neck and electronics come in 8 weeks or so.

Just got the body in for my second bass build. Body: G4 Bubinga (Last bass blank they had, according to customer support) 7/8 jack Going to do a bubinga control cover. It will be finished in tung oil. I also just placed the order for the neck: wenge/ebony, bubinga headstock cover, 24 gold fret...

Just got the neck in. It's raining currently but supposed to dry up tomorrow and Sunday. So I'll get the tung oil on and start the drying.

Yep, it's a fantastic experience. Hearing all of the details of the pick scraping against the round wound strings. All of the ghost notes coming out. Playing through something like that will make you a better player for sure.

As long as the bass isn't causing any unwanted issues, such as overdriving effects, then I'd run it the way it is. What you described here I found to be very true during my amp-building day of the "magic" amps. Amps like Dumbles and Trainwrecks are amps the player cant hide behind. To me it's...

Very cool, I've been doing some research into the preamp. I've noted some things about it. In the video where Carey talks about the bass, Justin was going to try out. He stated that it's their normal preamp, except for a 500k volume and trim pots on the series-parallel switches. He also mentions...

Awesome, I hope to have my bubinga body in 2 months or so. Great inspiration, awesome build. How do the pickups sound?

Just got the notification that the neck for this build has shipped. So it should be here on the 2nd of July. Then the fun of sanding, finishing, and fret dressing begins. While the neck is drying from the oil, it will be the perfect time to wire up the body.

I like the look of the garnet without the gloss finish.

You could use something like this...

To work at a research university, doing research. Maybe a FANG-type company. Not a whole lot to do in my area, but 200 miles north there a bunch of oppertunities. You got to pay to play sometimes. At my current day, sometimes, it feels like Groundhog Days

I look foward to seeing them. This next bass will be finished a long time from now. Still got to get through this one first. I can understand that unfortunately(depends on your viewpoint) because of the meds I am on I can't consume alcohol. Some days I wish I could =). I took a TED talk from...
