Nice looking bass but I don't think you're going to get $2500 for a parts bass regardless of how nicely it's finished.

Great looking bass man! Love the relic work on the fingerboard. I have a question about the neck, in particular, the fingerboard where it meets the headstock above the nut. You mentioned it was a Warmoth neck but on every Warmoth neck with a (rosewood or ebony fingerboard) that I've seen, the rosewood extends way past the point that it does on your bass. My question is, how did you get the fingerboard to stop right above the nut? Did Warmoth do that for you or did you remove the extra rosewood that Warmoth necks have? I LOVE the real vintage look that your bass neck has.
Great looking bass man!!!

$2,500 aaahhhh WUT?

It does extend a good deal above the nut. It's probably the angle or the light that makes it appear to stop right after the nut.

Ditto.

Not compared to my Warmoth necks, it doesn't. Your headstock shape isn't quite the same as my Warmoth necks, either.

You're right, they're not identical. How old are your necks? Maybe they changed designs?

I ordered the one on the left about 5 1/2 years ago. The one on the right is older, but I don't know how old.

I ordered mine a year ago. So maybe that's why. The only other reason (for the headstock shape, and I would have to verify with my luthier) is if he ordered a neck with a full paddle headstock and cut it himself at the shop.

Alder body (Allparts) -> 600$
Maple neck (Warmoth) -> 600$
Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Pickups -> 150$
Period correct vintage reverse tuners and bridge -> 400$
Period correct Fender Precision bass decal -> 200$
Superb and awesome relic job and feel -> 1000$
D'Addario chromes strings -> 100$
experienced luthier that puts the parts together -> 500$
pots,wire, pickguard -> 50$

that are 3600$ and I would have to wait at least 2 years.
2500$ are an incredible cheap price.

Please don't give this amazing bass away that cheap.

Huh?

Somebody's using two usernames to justify an absurd price...

Don't be ridiculus.
I am not mrkode.

But my post above was very serious.

There is absolutly NO sarcasm in my post above.
Please, don't even try to use your brain to detect a joke.
Because I would never do any funny postings.

I put a new Warmoth neck on a friend's MIJ Jazz 2 years ago, and it's the same as mine are.

Don't be a moron, then. Here's what that stuff really costs, based on the Warmoth Jazz I made last year.

Alder body (Allparts) -> 400$
Maple neck (Warmoth) -> 300$
Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Pickups -> 100$
Period correct vintage reverse tuners and bridge -> 150$
Period correct Fender Precision bass decal -> 20$
Superb and awesome relic job and feel -> included in the luthier's cast, and I still think it's 200$ too high.
D'Addario chromes strings -> 25$
experienced luthier that puts the parts together (and relics the bass)-> 500$
pots,wire, pickguard -> 50$ (he should have spent 75$ and got a 'period correct' p/g)

What are we smoking here?

Dudes, Rockbass was kidding.

Wow ok, so that things don't get out of hands,

No I haven't created a second username.

As for the price, everything as far as material goes can be verified on the net. Where it gets subjective is the amount the luhier charges for his work.

All I can say is that I paid the bass 3100$ including the case.

Wether you think it's justified or not is not relevant. Neither if you think the price I'm selling it for is too high or not.

If the price suits you and you consider buying the bass, contact me and we can discuss everything. If you think the price is too high and that I might consider a decent offer, contact me as well.

I'm open to discuss anything else regarding shapes, aspects, finish etc... etc....

Thanks!
