Warmoth Jazz Bass arrived

[toronado]

Hi all,


well, time for my first post in here

finally, my parts for my first warmoth project arrived. I'm very pleased with the quality of the parts.
The neck is good to go, already finished in clear satin. (neck wood: birdseye maple with rosewood fingerboard, cream binding and pearloid blocks)
The body will be dyed blue and get an oil/wax finish and a white pearloid pickguard. (body wood: quilted maple on swamp ash)
Bridge is from gotoh, and for PU's I think I'll choose Seymour Duncan Basslines Vintage Stack.

Anyway, here are the pics, parts fresh from the box:

Looks good! Can't wait to see the end result.
Since you haven't gotten pickups yet, you might get some high recommendations for Nordstrands.

Awesome! Will be a nice bass... sad that it will have a pickguard, though...

Hehehehe
Haven't bought any yet, but having been talking with the guys for a while, they are very helpfull and nice! If their pickups are half as good as the reviews I read, will be the only other company that I buy beside Bare Knuckle...

Good product is good (and the limiter), but a nice service is just wondeful!

Very nice top!

I like that quartersawn quality.
Looking forward to seeing some blue stain on it.

Yeah, I read a lot of good things around here about Nordstrand. But they are hardly available here in europe (I'm in Germany) and quite pricy.
I think there are several (in the US) lesser known german/european PU makers that might be on par with Nordstrand - I'm thinking of Delano, Harry Häussel and such.
But on the other hand, you can't go wrong with Seymour Duncan. But I haven't finally decided yet what to take. I want a vintage sounding bass without
single coil noise.

well, I want that vintage 70's look, so I gotta need one...

You could just have the control plate on there  :icon_thumright:
You won't get that vintage with blue dye anyways.

lol, well then make that a vintage-hybrid or custom classic!  :icon_biggrin:
But a Jazz Bass with only the control plate on doesn't work out for me, look wise.
