Looks pretty expensive for a 10 year old Warmoth with a ding on the front. Those older necks are like boat anchors aren't they? Looks cool I agree but a little dreamy on what it's worth but I see that a lot lately.

Is that not a 4 string neck plate turned sideways to work with the greater width?

Yup.... that's only the beginning of the build issues. That nut looks like its over 2" too. Wide-Ass!! :shock:

I never understood why some reverse the logo on the EMG 40DC humbucker pups. They work the same both ways. Put the logo in the correct direction... Geezzzz :mrgreen:

I was kind of excited at this listing as I've been considering another parts bass eventually ordering a Dinky-P body from Warmoth. Then I looked at the neck more closely. That nut looks to be almost as wide as the heel !!!! WTH ?!?!?

This is like the second or third time I've seen the sideways neck plate on a 5-string Warmoth build...

Weird.

No kidding, that thing's an aircraft carrier. At first glance I thought it was a six string..
