I just had a freaking INSPIRED idea to make the greatest 8 string (double-course) bass to ever exist, from Warmoth parts. Picture this:

Arctic White SG Body
Gold Hardware
LP-Style Knobs
Black Headstock
Ebony Fretboard, No Inlays
Custom Black Pickguard
Gold Frets
Alembic AXY Activator Pickups

Due to the obscene price of the pickups and the cost of getting custom routing for them, the bass will probably cost about $2200, including EVERYTHING, I even looked up the price of the copper shielding, screws, everything. For something this expensive, I'd probably go to either Nino Valenti or our own SoM to assemble it and set it up, which would add to the cost.
