Warmoth 5 String Conversion

Post by lsimy »

Since I have two of these, I have decided to let one go. This is a Warmoth Dinky-P alder 4-string body with a MightyMite 4-string P-bass neck modified to a 5-string. The nut was cut professionally by Larry at Wooden Wizard Guitars. The pocket has some minor play in it however can be shimmed or just kept bolted tight. Bass plays well and spacing is not as tight as one might imagine. The neck's fretwork was level, crowned and polished by Stephen at CEG. He does great fretwork. It could use a good set up but that's about it. Body, neck and parts are in excellent condition.

Specs are:

- Warmoth Dinky-P alder body
- Charcoal Mist finish
- MightyMite P neck maple/rosewood
- Recessed Dunlop Straploks
- EMG MMCS (bridge), EMG MMTW (neck)
- EMG standard wiring V-V-T with pull for neck single coil
- Hipshot tuners
- Hipshot 4-5 string conversion bridge
- Small gigbag included

Parts alone are worth it for another build or left as is for a great 5. In fact, the neck could have the 5th tuner removed, a 4-string P-bass nut installed and the bridge changed to a standard 5-bolt 4-string to convert the bass back to a great working 4-string.

I think I will hold onto this guy as I think I have found a good use for the body with an older neck. Sorry to derail anyone !

Moderator, you can delete this one. Thanks very much !
