Greetings,
I'm pleased to announce the May, 2011 Guitar of the Month contest. The May contest will be for any Bass Guitar assembled from a Warmoth body, a Warmoth neck, or both. Entries may have their finishes applied by Warmoth, the instruments's owner, or a third party.
Please read the GOM rules, which have been refined, with some slight changes, and are posted in a sticky in this forum area.
Submissions must be sent to uwfgom@gmail.com - two images no greater than 1024x768, along with your description and details of the instrument. In turn, those images will posted to this message, which is May's submission thread. Submissions will be accepted from the 1st through the 7th of May, so get your cameras clicking! All discussion for the submissions can take place below, along with other pictures hosted by the poster.
Good luck, and may the best bass guitar win!

The bass has a Squier body and a Warmoth neck. The finish on the neck was done by Warmoth, but the epoxy coat on the fingerboard was done professionally
