Warmoth the 3rd - The Body Has Arrived!

[hannaugh]

Lol.  I'm glad you found it amusing. 

Look what showed up today! 

 

[Corey P.]

Excellent!  Have you decided what you're doing for a neck yet?

 

[hannaugh]

I think I'm going with bubinga with a pau ferro fretboard, stainless steel frets.  :toothy10:

 

[dNA]

freakin beautiful

 

[stubhead]

In seeing that blue, it would look ever deadlier (than bubinga) with a really dark brown neck... rosewood, or padouk + two years. You getcher sonic blue Katy Perryish bubbly fun from the bod, and temper it with dark jungle savagery from the neck. Bubinga looks kinda... nice, IYKWIM.

 

[dNA]

Blue like that + dark brown is gorgeous. but you can go ahead and not do that, since i've been planning on making a jazzmaster to that effect for quite some time. just a matter of when i'll have funds again.
really though, while I think pau ferro or rosewood would look incredible on that, I think the reddish color of bubinga would work really well and it would fit the tortoise pickguard.
honestly i think anything will look good on that. it's just a classy lookin bass

 

[Updown]

This is gunna look Yummieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  :icon_thumright:

Is this your 1st Bass Build ?
:rock-on:

 

[hannaugh]

Yeah I think the bubinga + pau ferro would be the best color combo to pick up the pickguard, and I think I'll get closest to what I want tone-wise with either that or all pau ferro. 

Yes, this is my first Warmoth bass.  I just started playing bass recently.  So I'm sure I'll be ready for another W build in couple years.  :doh:

. . . I'm that whisper in the back of your head that you know you want to follow . . . . paaaaaaaaauuuuuuu ferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhssssssssssssssss...............  :evil4:

 

[Steve_Karl]

That's really nice. I can't wait to see it with a neck on there.

 

[hannaugh]

Okay kids, I have pups on the way from Roadhouse and something special on the way from Doug (hint: it's not a neck plate), plus a couple other parts here and there on their way.  I am hoping I'll be able to order the neck next week. 

 

[dNA]

custom control plate?

Puppies from Roadhouse...

Something special from Doug...​

If you're not going to be any more clear than that, those are the images we're going with <grin>

:laughing7:

 

[TroubledTreble]

Hey that's me on the right!  :laughing7:

No no no no no! Not that Roadhouse! Although it is something standing side by side, only working in harmony instead of fighting. Well they are fighting hum!  :icon_tongue:

As for the second picture.... Me-Yow!

 

[hannaugh]

Those pups /\.  And no, it's not a control plate.

Cute, but it needs a Floyd...  :laughing7:

 

[reluctant-builder]

Truss-rod cover?

 

[Corey P.]

I don't think the short scale bass necks have angled headstocks, so most likely not; if it's not a control or neck plate, there's not a lot left that could be metal, lol.  Potentially it could be custom keys for the tuning machines or some kind of string retainer, or maybe a brass nut?

OH - is it the bridge?

 

[DangerousR6]

:dontknow:, "could be meat, could be cake...I know, it's meat-cake".... :laughing11:
