Ok, so... I made a recent post on here concerning my need to build a lighter bass, and I managed to find a black, painted 3 lb 2 oz poplar P-bass body. Obviously, I'd prefer natural wood, but this is a pretty darned light body. I'm thinking that I'm going to toss in a Duncan pickup that I have and order a green pearloid pickguard and a neck from Warmoth. Now, I'm thinking that I want to order a maple/maple neck, and have it finished in a vintage tint.
I notice that it says that Warmoth finishes over the frets (/boggle), and that it'd need to be removed during a setup. I'm not comfortable doing this myself, and if I'm going to have to have someone set it up and fix the finish/fret issue, I feel like I might as well pay the same guy to do the finish in the first place, and maybe have a decal applied to the headstock.
Do any of you have any advice as far as who I might seek out to do this work in the Puyallup/Tacoma area? I'll post pictures after it's built, of this bass and my other Warmoth basses.
Thanks!
