Re: It's Official: Placed Order for Custom Orpheo Bass Guitar
Thank you! I love that guitar. It became my favorite guitar the first day I played it in August of 2015.
I wish I had that kind of finishing skill! Warmoth finished it. Warmoth has done such a fantastic job with everything I have ordered, I really hope to hear from them again soon. They have earned my loyalty.
Although, if I like this orpheo bass, I may be asking him to do a purple LP guitar next...
To answer your question, the blue Warmoth has an attitude! Part of it is obviously the WLH pickups, but this guitar has such a wide range of tonal possibilities.
With any kind of dirt, fuzz, distortion, gain, etc... the crunch is so nasty but with plenty of definition. I have it wired with push/push pots to operate either pickup in single coil mode as well, so for example, my big muff pi with the bridge in single coil mode is a lot of fun.
The cleans are awesome too! This guitar can clean up for funk or reggae, or it can deliver some really glassy blues. It can twang it out too. I really, really love the tone of this guitar. It is very articulate. Someday I need to start recording some clips again, but ideally I would like to start a band again in the near future. Either way, getting some clips out there for some of these Warmoths with Duncans would be cool.

but you gotta give it a name, don't you). That's 0.5mm on high E 12th fret, 0.7mm low E 12th fret, neck with a relief of 0.05mm. That's almost straight. Once that's done and the action is low, no fretting out (fretting out =/= fretbuzz!) I know that the guitar can be set up superlow and all's good and well. Then I set up per customer's spec. Suppose, my fretwork is only good enough for an action of 1mm/1.5mm low/high E string (which is considered low), and the customer wants lower, I have a problem. Hence the super tedious fretwork to get that done.
