Nice! Sounds a lot like I'd get (though I like beefy necks.) Does Warmoth offer a 35" scale for 5-string necks?

Pictures of the parts as they come in, please.

Indeed. My idea was to have a very unique looking bass. I'm a big J-bass fan. I think the traditional j-bass format with a modern aestetic looks great. Think Sadowsky & Mike Lull basses. Although I bought the body from their showcase, I still have to wait for the neck to be made. I know my friend pulled a really nice chunk of wood for the neck. I can't wait to see it all flamed out. Beautiful.

And by the way, my idea for an all flamed maple neck with a flame maple top was inspired by the Jackson Phil Collen model. Traditional, yet extremely classy.

That's gonna be sexy. :yesway: Reverse headstock is gonna look awesome, you don't see that too often on basses, especially not on Fender-style basses, though I do remember seeing a Jazz Bass with a reverse headstock before, and it was wild looking.

I love my Jazz Bass V, and any bass I buy in the future will be based around the ergonomics of a Jazz Bass and have to live up to the standard set by my current bass.

You dick, you have no idea how hard I've been fighting the urge to spend money I don't have on a Warmoth partscaster. :lol:

Nice, I can't wait to see this. :D
