Turned out great, it looks even more like a Wal now  Just a little sanding left before I screw them on.

I have two older Warwicks, a 1987 Streamer and a 2003 Thumb, so both over 20 years old. They’re solid, very high quality instruments and should last for years and years. My Streamer has some fret wear but they can probably be redressed before they have to be replaced. And I replaced the truss rod two years ago, that was a 15 minute fix. Just beware that the old one-way truss rods can be difficult to find.
 

I got the Thumb a couple of months ago and it can’t have been played much, it feels brand new with no wear at all, just a couple of nicks in the body. 

I’m still looking for another Warwick, I’ve got to have a neck-through Thumb sometime  

Got this in a trade with a friend. Never owned a shortscale bass, or a Gibson for that matter, before. It's fun and easy to play, and sounds very old school, especially with the flatwounds. It's basically the opposite of my Warwicks so both the sound and the feel is very unfamiliar, but maybe I'll try it in the fuzzed-out doom band and see how it behaves.

120 watts of Made-in-USA glowy goodness. Yes, it is heavy.

Two can't really be considered a collection, but I'm working on it!

Finally got them all together at home. And there's another one on the way!

Kos deg!

(Translation of sorts: I'm just warning him against you lot.)

Det takkes og bukkes!

This does not help my GAS for an 8 string...  

You know, there’s only one thing that helps… no wait, this is my second 8-string, so maybe not.

I just got my custom bass body from AliExpress, ordered a couple of months ago but they were very busy.

I’ve had to make some adjustments to the neck pocket but that’s to be expected when they didn’t have the neck to check it. Overall I’m happy with it, pretty nice work and finish.

Great, thanks a lot! Exactly what I need for my new project 😀

My main board for the doom band, made from an IKEA Hejne shelf with two T-Rex power supplies under. I should get some better quality patch cables but it works great now. The red PSM-5 is for switching on/off the delay/reverb pedal loop.

That looks great! Are the .stl files available somewhere?

Joining here because hey, you can't be a member of too many bass forums  

I started playing bass some 30+ years go, spent a good few years as a guitar player in a semi-pro band, and then went back to bass 4 years ago. I'm in 2 bands at the moment, a heavy sludge/doom/metal band, and a rock/metal band that started out as an Alice in Chains cover band, but recently have started making own music. 

 A have a few basses, 7 is almost too many according to my wife, but my main ones are my Warwicks, my old 1987 Streamer Stage 2 and I just got a 2003 Blonde Thumb a couple of weeks ago. 

And that's pretty much it, I'll just go back to lurking a bit and reading what's been going on here
