Flamed Roasted Maple Precision Bass Neck - 24 Fret

[BeagJon]

FAM! It's arrived. After weeks of refreshing the Warmoth order page (we all do it, admit it) and then the refreshing of the UPS page, it has arrived. Warmoth has now delivered every piece I'll need to complete my Bubinga Body, Double Musicman Rout Jazz Bass. I prefer P necks as I have my own set of gigantic Paladino-Hands.

Quite happy with how the cream dots, and white side markers, turned out. Glad I didn't choose black.

I only now await the pickups and we'll begin our build. Wood prep and finishing may start ahead of that... watch for the build thread

That’s a great looking piece of wood

The way the fingerboard melds into the headstock grain is just.... HNNGGG

Nice neck. I hope my roasted flame maple has some nice figuring like that. The cream dots do look good. Way to choose!

……….and yes, in fact, I DO check my Warmoth order daily, because what else am I going to do?!

I'm just upset because now I don't have anything to track... is this how Warmoth Syndrome begins?

Awesome neck, I absolutely love the roasted flame maple. The dark color and the flaming both look so nice. That is a top notch neck. How are you going to finish everything? And what pickups?

Tru-Oil finish is happening now in my build thread. Sanded several grits first. Pickups/Preamp are Nordstrand Big Blademan 4s and JC-3b Preamp.

Hello!
I know this is an old post but hopefully I will still get a reply.
Looking to order a very similar neck from Warmoth, however I’m stumped on the finish…
Do I leave it unfinished, opt for nitro satin by Warmoth, or tru oil myself?
Was wondering what you chose and how you feel about it?
Thanks!!

It’s roasted maple. You don’t have to do anything.

 

[Isaacbass]

You don’t have to, but there are benefits to applying some sort of sealant. Firstly the strength of the wood, unfinished wood is much more vulnerable to chips and dings and any unfinished wood is more vulnerable to movement when exposed to moisture or humidity. Plus sealing the wood will prevent stains from grime, dirt, oils, etc. I love the feel of bare wood so was wondering if just using something such as teek oil to seal would be enough?

I love the feel of bare wood

Then leave it bare. I absolutely love the feel of my unfinished roasted flame maple Tele neck.

@Isaacbass just use a thin coat of wipe on tru-oil on Roasted maple if you want something on it. That would be enough.

Looks great! And it’s nice to see cream dots over roasted maple!

Almost all roasted maple boards in the showcase have black dots which are an offense to my eyes!

White dots look so good on roasted maple
