I've played a couple of basses with the mm on the bridge and I really like it. Mainly played a Warwick FNA Jazzman and a sandberg California TM I think it is and you get a good growl with it at the bridge. So if I just have it at the bridge, ill have a series/parallel and coil splitting switch for that so I can still get a normal jazz tone, or have 2 MM pickups and have it for both.

I thought I'd give people an update. Sorry it's been slow. I'm very bad at making decisions especially important ones like building a bass. Anyway I have made 2 purchases. Not a body or a neck I'm afraid, but a nordstrand mm5.4 and a nordstrand pre amp from bass-a-licious (thanks mate) I only got the pickup as nordstrand are currently having supply issues and won't be available in most places till possibly the new year, and bestbassgear had 1 left so I jumped at it. Also, i would like to say that i cant fault nordstrand for customer service, Adrian has been so helpful in options to have, he emailed back within an hour in some cases, big companies loose this personal touch sometimes. I emailed delano and they took a week to reply to a simple price list request. Back on topic, I am no longer going for the teak/ipe neck as I have had no experience with these so I'm sticking to what I know and going for a Wenge neck with Wenge fingerboard. I am yet to decide if I go for the MM/Jazz pickup combo, or 2 MM pickups like a G and L and have a series/parallel, and coil splitting switches wired similar to the Warwick corvette $$. I have attached a couple of photoshop pictures of what I'm going for. Any suggestions on design or mainly what pickup combo you think I should go for, I'm all ears. Thanks, Adam

I'm still working out the details, so not ordered this yet, but I will be posting plenty of pics when it arrives, don't you worry about that.

Luke I said, my Warwick is 34" and the B on that sounds fine. Thought I'd check to make sure nothing was somehow different on the warmoth necks.

Thanks. I can't wait to get it ordered and start building it!

Great thanks for that. I did read that a hard wood neck helps... Like Bubinga. Not sure if that's a load of monkey balls. What's your neck made from?

Hello, I recently sold a bass and I have decided to build a warmoth deluxe 5 jazz bass. I'm looking at getting a swamp ash body with a zebra would top. Like the body below (but in a jazz 5 shape obviously). The neck I want is also pictured. I'm going for a music man/jazz pickup combination, probably bartolini with a preamp. My only concern is that in the warmoth website they say the deluxe jazz 5 scale is 34" and the low B in that scale can be floppy and prone to rattle. Has anyone had any experience of this? I have a streamer stage 2 and I'm pretty sure that's 34" and the B on that sounds ace! PICS NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THIS FIRST PAGE. Many thanks, Adam
