With a  bass I find the string it up, place the tree, push it down and mark it method doesn't work as there is too much tension in the strings to accurately mark the tree hole. I substitute with string wrapped around the tuners and taped to the fretboard over the nut.

Just read a post in this thread http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=1065.0 by CB which is what I shall try next....so simple and yet so bleeding obvious..

...really struggling this 2nd time around... This time using Fender Vintage RI Reverse nickel things and wary of splitting the wood have tried everything.....a dowel with sandpaper and lots of patience is probably the way to go but any advice is welcome this time.

Why couldn't these have been available last week? My Pbass body shipped yesterday to the UK....it would cost me almost as much as another body to ship it back to Warmoth and then back to me and I've been hunting for a bright nickel trick bridge for it for ages....without success...these would've...

OH MAN!!!! Why could you have not launched these http://www.warmoth.com/Hardware/bridges/2TekBridges.aspx and offered the routs last week? My new Pbass body shipped yesterday, Warmoth launch these today and I want one so bad.....but the body is already in UK and it would cost almost as much as...

Interesting.... I have just bought a Babicz full contact 4 string bass bridge for my next P-Bass. http://www.fullcontacthardware.com/4-bass-bridge ...but I wanted the hardware to have a bright nickel finish. Problem is the bridge is chrome plated aluminium. I was thinking about taking it apart...

Hi I have ordered my 2nd Warmoth bass build. Gonna be a 4 string P. I am going to fit nickel vintage reverse tuners and am looking for a bridge with a similar finish. I do not want a BBOT / Fender vintage bridge. I like the engineering of the Babicz full contact but it does not come in a...

Thanks very much. No doubt there will be another plethora of vids hitting youtube after our Salerno, Italy show on May5th. We don't gig often but our fans seem to love youtube. :)

Of course and that is part of the fun of DIY - it would be dull if everything was exactly the same and no effort was required to setup a sweet playing instrument. I was just curious as to how tightly tolerances are kept to. Of course hand finished parts are going to have variations, I was just...

Of course.....there must be some relief in the neck and different strings apply different tensions. Without the truss rod it would be impossible to setup the neck. I was surprised that I had to  both shim the neck though and set the Gotoh201 saddles as low as they could go too. I am not...

I am wondering what tolerances Warmoth work to. My Pbass build fit together very well. The neck fitted very snugly in the pocket without any sanding required. To set the action though, the bridge needed saddles as low as possible, the neck needed shimming and some turns put into the truss rod. I...

Debut gig for my Charger Green Warmoth P-J - some teething trouble between a couple of the songs - my poor soldering - now fixed Purple Turtle London Dec11th 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l23FvLYIXzo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOyZ2ZEKkVA

I see a batch of P bass bodies just landed in the showcase right on cue......hmmmm decisions decisions

I just bought one of these: http://minotaur.gr/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=54 and it does make the bass feel a little lighter.
