Bass-Man43 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Alright everybody, my warwick build is 99.99% done just have to screw in pickup and its done and its time for a new one. I will have pics TOMORROW but the body design is an original (as far as I know) I'm really excited about this one, so here are the specs. Body wood -Black walnut with Maple burl top Neck -5 piece Black walnut with maple stringers -Birdseye Fretboard Electronics -Seymour duncan AJB 5 string jazz set and STC-3A Preamp -35" Scale -Bolt on neck -Hipshot A style Bridge -Fretboard LED's (hopefully) So that's it for now but I have one question for the time being which is, is there a tutorial or something that can show me how to do fretboard LED's? Heres a pic of the pickups to tide you over for now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-Man43 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I promised, now I shall deliver Let me know what you guys think, I'll appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I dig. It almost has the Parker Fly vibe going on, especially in the lower horn. This should be a fun build to watch. With all that Maple/Walnut, you're looking at quite the punchy tone machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks man, Im REALLY looking forward to this one should be done by Christmas if all goes according to plan:) Bass-man43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan316 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Huh! Well huh! Square chopped horns can look damn good! I think I just might like this build... J's in a walnut/maple bass, serious punch and high end snap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Okay sorry about the lateness of the pics, haven't been home. But here's a couple. This is just the frist layer of black walnut, andother thinner one will be put on followed by the burl, so those ugly know(which revealed themselves during planing) will be covered up. Enjoy!

Bass-Man43 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks for the feedback guys! I really like the tutorial but I want to do face dots. Side dots as well would be sweet but I have no idea where I would get fiber optic cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
