vintage wight pickard
standard knickle hardware
standard strap buttons

Neck,

solid maple
worn clear gloss finish
ss6230 frets
4 bolt
hipshot tuners
classic string tree
10' radius
black dots

Ditch the Maple neck and get something that can be played raw.

Also, three string retainers are so much nicer than two string retainers, as they keep the strings at equal break angles, as opposed to having the A string sticking up, the way it does on Fenders.

What wood would give the same tone as maple that can be played raw?

And thanks for the string tree advice it makes sense. i have also noticed that on fenders.

Canary. Or, better still, Pau Ferro. And if you have Warmoth install the nut, you won't need string trees. String trees are just compensation for poorly made nuts.

I've never seen anyone omit the string retainer on a straight Jazz or Precision headstock.

Also, don't forget Padauk!

 

[Cagey]

Ah, you're right. I didn't realize it was a bass.

 

[Tipperman]

Wenge neck, ebony fretboard, walnut body or alder body. My thoughts, anyways. Can't go wrong with walnut/wenge.
