Shipping notice received! Friday delivery scheduled. Showcase pic: She was a screaming deal, albeit only slightly discounted. There's a paint blemish on the edge behind the bridge. Sounds like it was probably a custom job, dinged, and rejected. Well, I'm okay with that. From humble...

Ok, how fortuitous to have a day off!  Let's get down to business. Recap on the body, repost from "out of the box" thread: I don't currently have an image for the neck, other than an old stock image I saved off.  It's QS Wenge/QS Wenge.  This neck has bounced around from body to body from...

I've been eyeing this for months. Welcome to the party, pal.  Vintage tint swamp ash. Going to pair with a qs wenge neck. Simple but classy.  Very light at 3 lbs 13 oz.

Going to hit you all with one, mostly.  Got some tweaking to do, and still waiting for strings, but it's 90%. Starting points.  This bad boy right here:  Lightest body I have.  Good thing the upper horn is very long, otherwise neck dive would definitely be an issue. Pau ferro/ebony neck...

Mmmmmmmmm.  You guys are gooooooood. I've said "this is my last one" several times now.  I don't think I can top this one, actually.  Probably going all black on hardware, although this is actually the first time I think I seriously considered gold.  Taking the pau ferro/ebony neck...

The second bass I made. https://reverb.com/item/41203964-loaded-warmoth-j-bass-body

And with a shipping notice I'm opening a work in progress thread.  The body is on it's way! Here's my concept mockup: The back is gloss clear swamp ash.  I've also got a couple pickup mounts in gloss white, just because...

So I've been watching this guy. He found a '58 Les Paul at the Goodwill online store. Bought it, and had it brought back to playable state. A pretty amazing story all the way around. This isn't the first or last video in the series. https://youtu.be/RLIuLQLsDSA

So long Mr. Nash.  Influential in a different way from EVH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3akafGyYMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwJ-g0iJ6w

Just wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXdKAwHSe6M

Bill Withers died Monday of heart complications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de00ajXMUX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CICIOJqEb5c

Now, I'm not really one to complain, and this is going to come off as a complaint, but... I'm used to watching the bass neck showcase, and have seen a distinct lack of "exotic" necks.  I thought "Oh, well, maybe Warmoth is having problems sourcing some of their more exotics."  So I checked the...

Unofficial questionnaire, if I say the words "The Wrecking Crew" or "The First Call Gang," name the name that first pops into your mind, and why. For me, it's Carol Kaye.  The bass lines for "Sloop John B" or "Wichita Lineman" should be enough explanation.  Add a healthy dose of "Feelin'...

Hi guys, I bought this charcoal frost P/J jazz bass body over a year ago, and it sat in my "to do" group for all that time.  I recently sold it on ebay.  This is the end result.  Well done!  I'm so glad it went to a good home!

Guys, I need to thin the herd a little.  I'm starting with the 5 string that I never play, I never took to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323978127306

I could swear those are bass strings in this video. https://youtu.be/q_wJxcyz5Ow

As I posted in the GAS thread, I'm thinking of another mooncaster.  This would be my fourth (!) and I've decided I want something simpler.  I've initially started with the alpine white, but then I was reminded of Cagey's ice blue tele.  And just for fun I did a mockup in taos turquoise.  And...

Somebody buy this for $89.00 and then tell me what's wrong with it...

I wonder if they make a bass? https://youtu.be/M_fqLR0dRTw

Yeah!  A burl bass has been my dream guitar for quite some time.  And now, it's on order.  No f-holes on this, I couldn't bring myself to put them in this top.  I've noticed that most burl guitars use black hardware.  I think I'm going chrome. Hardware is interchangeable anyway.  If I don't like...
