DanEly Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) So I've finally decided to start a thread for my first build (reference photo below). I've been lusting after a 70's mocha brown precision bass for years now so thought this would be a great thing to have a go at building. So far... I am Currently waiting on delivery for my Warmoth transparent brown alder body. The electronics and pick guard are sorted. I still need to source: • 70's styled neck + tuners etc • Pickups (Lindy Fralins) • Pickup covers • Bridge • Thumb rest • Screws etc Edited January 30, 2016 by DanEly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanEly Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lindy Fralin pickups on the way and a Fender American special neck sorted. Hopefully I'll start building this Thursday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Great stuff. I'm a great fan of Warmoth. Bit pricey but very good products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit pricey but very good products [/quote] Very true! Was finding it hard to source the right coloured body so I pulled the trigger on a warmth body. Build starts this evening!

DanEly Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 So I spent the weekend putting her together. See the results below! Seriously impressed I must say. The neck is laser straight, got a nice low action. A true breeze to set up and the thing growls!
