Dirt posted:Surf green is the best color for a guitar IMO. But this is hideous. That might be more of a seafoam green? I can't ever tell the difference...Either way I love that sort of green. Mint green maybe? Also, I'm pretty sure it owns hard and does not belong in this thread.

Yeah, agreed. I've got a jazz bass in surf green which almost looks blue in some light. But that double neck doesn't really match either colour. I really love all the pastel fender colours. One of the prettiest basses I've ever seen was an old shell pink jazz bass.

The worst thing is that I bought a Hohner headless bass to replace it... Very relevant to this thread.

If you have incredibly specific needs and/or an aversion to Squier badges then yeah sure, go Warmoth. Otherwise grab a high end Squier neck for less than half the price.

Yeah, I got a gloss Allparts neck for a parts bass and the finish was sprayed right over the frets without any clean up. I thought something was seriously wrong when the frets started cracking and crumbling under the strings but it was just the lacquer coming off. Beyond that though the frets were pretty good from the get go. Or at least, not bad enough for me to notice.

Chalupa Joe posted:Unless you're playing fretless, the strings shouldn't be touching the fretboard anyway. Siivola posted:...the strings are connected to the neck and the body through the frets and the saddles. Those obviously transmit energy to the guitar because you can feel it vibrate against your chest when you play. That’s how headstock tuners work. This and the fretboard material, or maybe more significantly, whether the fretboard is a separate piece of wood, will contribute to how rigid the neck is and how it vibrates or affects how the strings vibrate. That said, whether it has a predictable or even noticeable effect on the sound passed through the pickups to the amp is an entirely different question. I love Isbell, he's a genius songwriter, but he's a notorious gear nerd for all the good and the bad that entails.

Yeah, my LP has big rear end frets and needs a light touch or the notes go waay out of tune. The strings never come near the fretboard. OTOH I can wring the gently caress outta the neck on my tele and never hit a bum note.

The thing that results in the most fun for me is apparently endlessly research and buying (and eventually selling) gear without ever producing a drat thing. At least that's what I tell myself. The alternative is just too depressing.
