    Favorite neck woods?

    I have 2 roasted maple Jazz 5 necks, one Fretted and one Fretless. The Fretless is from November 2018 and the Fretted is from January 2022 I really love the feel of these necks unfinished. I can’t believe how smooth Warmoth gets them. They are much smoother than my G&L neck, which I think is...

    Are large inlays a bad idea for exotic woods?

    My opinion: If I’m getting an exotic fretboard, say like Flame Maple or Birdseye Maple, I will opt for dot inlays for the exact reason you mention. A large block inlay on a Flame Maple fretboard just takes away a lot of real estate of gorgeous flame. Plain Maple - blocks galore! With Wenge...

    Another tidbit I noticed is that when building a Custom Body, the MM 5 Sweet Spot pickup does not appear in the visualizer. It is just a blank body without a pickup route. Like so: Above body built as Roasted Swamp Ash Rear Route with 4 controls MM5 Sweet Spot pickup Hipshot A Bridge...

    But if Warmoth already carries Hipshot A bridges, I don’t see why Warmoth can’t carry Hipshot KickAss bridges…just sayin’… (And it’ll be a better product, too)

    I see there is a Hipshot A available for 5-string basses, along with the Schaller 496…but that’s it. I am really hoping that the BadAss option will return as time goes on…even though the BadAss is no longer in production, at least 2 other companies make clones…including Hipshot in the...

    But dammit, this one doesn’t look half bad… https://warmoth.com/index.php/bass-necks/deluxe5-4-1/d5n-1599-30306 https://warmoth.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/5/d5n-1614a.JPG.jpg...

    The bass will be a Stingray-inspired build. Rear route, no PG or plate, one pickup. I only used that photo for color and neck reference.

    Right now, there are a few Roasted Flame Maple Deluxe necks in the showcase (none of which have spec’s I want…like 1-7/8” nut and 22 fret with cream dots). But they don’t seem to be all that “flamey” https://warmoth.com/bass-necks/deluxe5-4-1 What I normally compare flame quality to is my G&L...

    Hello. How. Are. You… I’m the resident new guy here, though this is my 2nd time applying for membership. The first time, I was flagged by Admin (Aaron…?) for being a bot/scam/troll. 2nd time’s a charm…? I have been a long time member of one of the other gossip forums around, but at times it...
