Apparently the original bassist of weezer got inspired by Rivers and would put Warmoth tele bass necks on his jazz basses. There are some pics of him playing those frankensteins, they look pretty cool.
Legend has it that Jason Newsted built a Warmoth bass around the time he was auditioning for Metallica, and I believe that Slipknot’s new bassist, Alessandro Venturella has a few Warmoth basses
Karl Sanders of NILE uses a scalloped Warmoth neck on one of his old Strats. He even used it in a music video. Probably not one of the most famous people around, but he's a hell of a player.
Thanks for making such great videos! I've been bingeing them since I came across your channel! I hope you do a color comparison video for your silver colors (Inca Silver, Aluminum, Silver Flake, and even White Pearl) like you did for the gold colors. It would be super helpful for buying my next Warmoth replacement body. Thanks again!
Love your videos, love your delivery. Always interesting, informative and humorous. Have they given you that raise yet? I hear Gibson and Fender are looking for a PR guy with chops!🤩
Bought a compound radius scalloped Warmoth neck for one of my strats about...jeeeesh...25 years ago :). When most of my guitars can't go 3 months out of the case without needing a truss rod adjustment, the Warmoth has *never* needed an adjustment, and it's been hanging on the wall (played daily) for a good 15 years now. Indestructible! \m/.
Hello Aaron, great job as usual. I love the tea on the 3am post gig load out drive home. Bandmates used to call me Kaiser. A, because of the my German heritage and B because my mother would make me a cold cuts kaiser to eat on the way home from a gig.😂
Rivers and Matt Sharp have to be the most famous Warmoth users. As a kid, I dreamed up my own Warmoth Strats and even though I never used Warmoth, I totally respect the company for all the quality, compatibility, and creativity. I ended up being so inspired, I bought a Blacktop Strat HH in sonic blue and made it a "Rivers" Strat, which is also what I named it. Not a proper Warmoth, but I did on the cheap!
@@warmoth With tangents like that, your solos must be frickin' amazing, dude! FULL DISCLOSURE: My solos must be amazing too because my tangents are endless! :P
Aaron , you forgot : *Michael lee firkins* The most underrated shredder to come out of the shrapnel records label/era . His yamaha Pacifica1221 MS models from the early 90s had necks made by warmoth atleast that's what an article by the builder *Rich Lasner* detailed! . Thanks for continuing with all the glorious content you do, stay safe/healthy everyone Cheers from Niagara Falls Canada - 🤟🙏😊
Craig Goldy of Dio also used two Pacifica 1221m guitars from the 90s up until the Magica album and tour, a blue and a ruby red (pink?) one, great guitars and hard to find these days!
I remember reading in Total Guitar years ago that Mark Chapman from ‘A’ had at least one Warmoth guitar, a left-handed S-type with two rails humbuckers (neck and slanted bridge), finished in red or pink.
I love all your videos, I watch them pretty often, very informative. I was wondering if you could do a video on your lake placid blue color, and the other metallic colors. I have a 1996 mexican stratocaster and I love its version of Lake Placid Blue, it's a bit different from the original 1960s nitrocellulose version. I have been thinking about making a warmoth guitar in the same color but I can't quite tell from the color charts if it will match, Lake Placid Blue is tricky with reflections, changes color quick. Thanks and I love your videos! Hope you're doing great through covid
So kool that the colbert show guitarist uses your stuff. She's VERY talented if you ever look her up and see her stuff. Didn't know that. Thanks Aaron! Finally set up the blood wood fret board neck I got from yall and made it into one bad ass strat. Gave it as a gift to a good friend of mine. I loved it and didn't want to give it up once I got it play ready haha. But I got it done and got it to him. I was worried he wouldn't like it since he's a gretsch guy for the most part. HE LOVES IT! He didn't say anything bad about it. My other friend has a 3 year old daughter. I want to make her a pink guitar. Going to work with you guys again very soon : ) Let's get real lol... I'm prolly ALWAYS going to come back to you guys to make shit lol. I already have enough guitars for myself so now I'm just putting them together for people as a way to spread more musical joy. Especially in these dark times we need to help music be more powerful than ever! Great vid boss! You rock! Warmoth rocks! Wish the big name guitar companies would be as kool as you guys. Want customization at reasonable prices for quality that is arguably just as good if not better than the most popular guitar companies? Look no further. Warmoth is basically the best at this. Go to the website now and marvel at how easy it is to craft your own unique guitar build that NO ONE else will ever have. If you're unsure about stuff just ask them. They are more than helpful! They will even give you kool ideas that you probably didn't even think about.
Aaron glad you are back man. My 10 year son’s nebula burst rear routed telecaster is almost all done. The finish and the roasted super very high flame maple neck is amazing. He was so happy to do another project with me. I’m sure with is SD BG-1400 neck and bridge pickups wired for 4 way switching it’s going to be super beefy tone. I will be sure to send pictures of it to my sales rep. Again thank you for getting us through quarantine with your awesome videos. One thing the shirt they sent with the guitar is awesome. However I’m a 2 xl and my son is 10 so a small would fit great. Where can I get one for him to wear?
I remember taking a tour of the earlier Warmoth shop in Puyallup and I've met Paul and Ken. I heard in the early 80's that Eric Clapton and Billy Gibbons paid a visit to that shop.
Sounds like you drifted off into a nice slumber while still in your vehicle...thanks for the laser-focused return to - hey, look at those cool guitars on the wall! I have a wall in my house, almost like it. Oh, famous people...yeah...
I just finished a Warmoth Tele build, Gristletone electronics, warmoth body and neck (all rosewood!!!),and Fender american pro hardware. Best guitar I've ever played in 30 years of playing :D
I hear my name but I still haven’t gotten that Srv profile flamed maple neck with the rosewood 9.5 radius fretboard And stainless steel frets I ordered 49 years ago!!
I think Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam used to use a Warmoth bass in the early days. Warmoth body and an ESP neck. It was recorded in most of the songs on Ten.
Are you guys planning on expanding or changing up your bass offerings any time in the future? I’d love to see a true 4 string Gecko (35” scale, 24 frets, same heel and neck pocket as the 5er and 6er), but maybe that’s just me :)
Jimmy Herring!! How could you not include him in this! He's a musicians musician! Absolute genius on the guitar, a great teacher, and a great guy too!!
Can you make be a video about the TOM/STP angled neck pocket? I would like to build my own body using a TOM/STP and then have a strat replacement neck made for it by warmoth.
I remember that Jason Newsted in the early MetallicA era played a Warmoth bass, I think is a black, the one in the Cover of the Garage Days Ep from ‘87
It's very likely. I was at Mike's shop once about 15 years ago when a crate arrived vis UPS. Mike opened it up while I watched, and it was filled with about five of Pearl Jam's guitars and basses they had sent to him from their current tour. They were all busted up from the rigors of the road. Was pretty cool to see them all up close.
I am happy that you have a nice thermos, but I am also perhaps sad that you can't have a regular mug at work; when I had still an office in the days before Plague Times I had a very regular coffee cup (because I am Dutch and we drink coffee all day from regular mugs, it is our culture)
zojirushi is a japanese brand. there a few others that do the same thing. but ur right, i can put a hot coffee in the fridge come back tomorrow and its still warm.
“I will not get distracted at all.”
2 second later
“So here’s this cool mug”
Hahahahaha....nicely done!!!!!
@@eddiejr540 Sponsor comes first, everytime!!!
What about the mug!!!
Yeah keeping on target seems to be a issue.....I'm thinking he might need a prescription know what I mean?
I was _so_ hoping he was just going to fill the rest of the video talking about this mug and just never get to the famous people.
"This time I'm gonna focus like a laser" and then goes on a two minute rant about a thermos. Classic Aaron. I love this guy :) :)
Haha! Guilty.
Just good :)
Yeah I noticed but it's like two videos in one that way😄!
Warmoth Guitar Products you didn’t say what you were going to focus on. 😉
We stan an ADHD king
I’ve always loved that your logo is Phillip McKnight
😂
So true lmao
Haha! brilliant
🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao
This mug will keep it warm-oth...
Best brand ambassador ever. Seriously, couldn't do better than Aaron.
Makes me happy that warmoth is having you do videos more often again.
Sure helped us alot in the lock down times
Apparently the original bassist of weezer got inspired by Rivers and would put Warmoth tele bass necks on his jazz basses. There are some pics of him playing those frankensteins, they look pretty cool.
He also used Schecter pickups. Not sure of the exact nomenclature though.
Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam has a Warmoth Jazz bass body for his bass he used for most of the songs on Ten.
With a Fender neck?
Legend has it that Jason Newsted built a Warmoth bass around the time he was auditioning for Metallica, and I believe that Slipknot’s new bassist, Alessandro Venturella has a few Warmoth basses

Glad to see you back, Aaron! I miss the daily show.
Omg no way! I've seen the Joe Perry strat you're talking about and always thought it looked super cool. Glad to know the neck is from Warmoth!
Jimmy Herring talked about his parts in interviews.
Good to see you back
The Toadies, a forgotten but awesome grunge band.
Why aren't you on that list? You're famous
He doesnt use warmoth 😂
Love all of Aaron’s videos... I always look forward to your content; so enjoyable. Carry on brother! 👍🏻
Welcome back! Good to hear from you, Sir!
that "last waltz" strat you did for becker was fantastic.

"by the time i pull into my driveway i'm already asleep" is so funny, even funnier that you didn't acknowledge it and moved right on
Promises to focus on famous people. Launches into detailed tangent about mug.
It happens. There's no controlling it!

WOO I love seeing Clarke and the toadies mentioned. They’re the reason I’m building a Warmoth Strat rn. awesome stuff.
Hey Aaron! Nice mug! Sure kept your tea warm-oth~~
How dare you not get sidetracked! 🤣
In his defense - he did :)
Keep 'em coming Aaron!

Nifty! Thanks for the followup!
Those Zojirushi travel mugs are awesome man! I have one too, it’s almost like the coffee gets hotter in there it seems sometimes! 😀
Such a great channel!
Love the black hh strat in the background tell me more about this I love the contrast from the back. Thanks!
Cool Steve Von Till mention. He’s got several Warmoth’s all heavily customized.
It seems I recall on the old Warmoth site testimonials from Kerry Livgren of Kansas and I think I remember Les Dudek among others.
So kool that the colbert show guitarist uses your stuff. She's VERY talented if you ever look her up and see her stuff. Didn't know that. Thanks Aaron!

You had me at "Billy Gibbons". Take my money.

Laser focus eh? Haha, talking about his travel mug
Welcome back Aaron!
Aaron says he's gonna focus like a lazer on famous Warmoth players, then goes directly into talking about his travel mug 🤣
We luv U man 😎
Like a lazer, BAYBAY!!!! :)
Walter Becker had quite a few Warmoth projects that were sold at the big auction a while back.
This is definitely not the real Aaron, I'm on to you Warmoth!!! The real Aaron would never talk on track without any tangents! Clearly a robot...
Simon Grove! Plays bass for Plini and has played for Nick Johnston, David Maxim Micic and others!
Sick video, thanks!
Another great video
I love these guys
I hear my name but I still haven’t gotten that Srv profile flamed maple neck with the rosewood 9.5 radius fretboard And stainless steel frets I ordered 49 years ago!!
Love the vid’ man.
Dang A-A-Ron you should do another video of just your stories from 'Nam
You had me at Billy Gibbons :-p
I think Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam used to use a Warmoth bass in the early days.
Warmoth body and an ESP neck. It was recorded in most of the songs on Ten.
Was that the fretless? Almost all of TEN is on fretless
Are you guys planning on expanding or changing up your bass offerings any time in the future?
I’d love to see a true 4 string Gecko (35” scale, 24 frets, same heel and neck pocket as the 5er and 6er), but maybe that’s just me :)
I thought you were gonna talk about that thermos and coffee the whole time. Ultimate troll move. But no, we're back to the truth
Jimmy Herring!! How could you not include him in this! He's a musicians musician! Absolute genius on the guitar, a great teacher, and a great guy too!!
I didn't know! I swear.....I didn't know!!! :)
Ordered neck and unfinished body from warmoth and finished a guitar by myself a year ago. The best instrument i ever had
Joe King from the Punk band The Queers has had quite a few Warmoth guitars.
No heat Aaron! Just messing with ya. We all love you bud!! Haha!
No worries, the NAMM stories were also cool. (Also publish some more music written by You!)
aarontunes on YT, or aarontunes.com
Great video!
Can you make be a video about the TOM/STP angled neck pocket? I would like to build my own body using a TOM/STP and then have a strat replacement neck made for it by warmoth.
Arlen Roth has a few Warmoth T types and photos in his book Masters of the Telecaster.
I remember that Jason Newsted in the early MetallicA era played a Warmoth bass, I think is a black, the one in the Cover of the Garage Days Ep from ‘87
Mike Uuereb from Deadbeat Blackout has guitars made from Warmoth parts...
I believe Alex Turner out of the Arctic Monkeys used a Warmoth Jazzmaster looking guitar around late 2011
oh damn I forgot about Steve from Neurosis, he always has some cool and weird guitars
I'm quite sure I once read that Mike Lull made a bass for Jeff Ament out of Warmoth parts.
It's very likely. I was at Mike's shop once about 15 years ago when a crate arrived vis UPS.

I recall reading that Nuno Bettencourt's original home-built N2 had a shaved-down Schecter body and a Warmoth neck.
I've heard that too, but have never seen it verified by him. Would love to know!
Pretty sure that Alex Turner has a Warmoth Jaguar with a Humbucker in the neck and tele single coil in the bridge.
pretty sure Warner Hodges has a Warmoth build if i remember correctly
Just received my two Warmoth Strat necks and bodies ... excellent quality.
Clark vogelers custom jazz master is killer!!!
Dude, you are the Bob Ross of necks and bodies. Ahhh...relaxation.
We don't make mistakes here....only happy accidents! :)
Isn't Jeff Ament's fretless J a warmoth?
And Aaron I need a nomad neck gib scale with 24 frets
I have three warmoth necks and love them.

AAron, please include a link to the Warmoth website so I can get there right away after your video, thanks!
I believe Jason Newsted was playing a handful of warmoth basses through his run with Metallica.
Any news on the new 40th anniversary guitars? I see one of them hiding behind you ;)
You noticed!! :) Like everything else this year we have had to postpone them. Hopefully they will be released this fall.
I miss the Daily Aaron. A fun combination of friendly and bristly.
Euge Valovirta (Cyrah/Suburban Tribe) uses Warmoth necks on at least two guitars 🤘
(pushes through crowd) HE HAS A NEW MUG!
Ok, settle down there, Smithers
zojirushi is a japanese brand. there a few others that do the same thing. but ur right, i can put a hot coffee in the fridge come back tomorrow and its still warm.
Dave Rosin from Hedley plays Warmoth
you forgot to mention Aaron, the prominent "youtube leyend" from Sohirushi Trio..!!
Vivian used Nightswans when with Whitesnake
My brain: Wow, Zojirushi Travelmug uses Warmoth parts too!?
Righteous dude
