Don't sweat it, I don't think they tow away illegally parked J basses :laughing7:

4x2=8.....4x3=12  :icon_scratch:  Well I figure that means you got at least six more to park here somewhere.......C'mon hand'em over! We want  PICS :guitarplayer2: :blob7: :guitarplayer2:

nother fine bass with gold hardwear! love the pearl inlays and binding. Those bridges have to be much nicer than the stock fender bridges.

Hey Brian...Yeah I like the Badass bridges over stock.No adjustment screws to cut your hand.Also I use Ken Smith bridges.More expensive but worth it if you can find them on ebay.

Willyk...I have a new Warmoth swamp ash jazz on the way cut out in a PJ config.I'm gonna do that one in Burgundy Mist Metalic
Some of my builds are from other companys...Do you guys post pictures of guitars other than Warmoth?

They may be mixed W.necks with japan bodies or visa versa.


Schmoopy....Jazzbuckers?maybe that's next

Cheers

That's a question that should be asked of the "Moderator Man"

I, personally, wouldn't drive a Chevy to a Ford convention but that's just my own point of view  :dontknow:

Guys do it sometimes, I figure go ahead. As long as there's some warmoth in there, and you're putting yourself into it.

:hello2:  That jazz bass is a lot nicer than any Fender jazz that I saw in the 70s' and I'm sure that it plays a lot easier. Nice job.  :cool01:

Gorgeous... That's not normally the look I find attractive, but I have to admit that I've fallen for this one.  Did you do the nitro?

Yes I did the nitro work.It's all McFaddens,applied with Preval compressed air system.Probably 40 coats,than waited for a month and a half while the body and neck gassed off.Wet sanded and hand buffed.Thanks for asking.

Cheers :eek:ccasion14:
