Warmoth Fretless Neck Reviews 
4 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI got it used, on a Yamaha P-Bass
that already had Bartolinis in it,
so I got to hear it really clearly
before I bought the whole shabang.
I was going to take it apart, but
so far I find it to be such a fine
player that maybe I should just
let it be.
It's so comfortable you want to
cuddle with it after you play it.
Has a lined, nearly black ebony
board, and the rounded "vintage"
edges of an ancient Fender bass.
Mine came with tuning pegs that
lack any taper whatsoever, and
a cheapo white plastic nut. Rod
access is at the heal, so it's a
good idea to rout out the body
to get convenient access to it.
Side dots are low-visibility.
The E-string peg ought to be a
lot further from the nut [it's
at about 3.5cm from nut].
Inlaid white lines on a very
dark ebony fingerboard with 21
[non]frets, and small plastic
side dots. Maple neck has NO
stripe and looks to be all of
one piece. Mine has a Fender
headstock and "classic" open
gear tuners with cast [rather
than stamped] base plates.
Don't know the radius, but it
must be small [very round].
All maple parts are finished
in an aged-looking amber. I
was told that this neck is a
"Fender Licenced" version. I
don't know what that entails
and I doubt that it matters
for my needs.
I didn't measure anything, but
it's not a fat round vintage
P-bass shape and it's not some
pencil thin "speed" neck, just
somewhere comfy in-between.
This neck is all about comfort.
It's a real quality product, and
feels and plays just like a great
neck should, and for me that just
outweighs all minor shortcomings.
The one thing that really must be
addressed is routing of an access
into the body for the tension rod.
So if you buy one of these necks,
expect to face that chore.
