Hey TBers!

I'm currently building my "dream" bass. Here are a few specs:

Warmoth P-bass body
Warmoth J-bass neck
Bill Lawrence P-46 pickup
Babicz full contact bridge
etc.

Nothing too fancy, I know. But I picked what seemed to suit my needs the most - from A to Z.

Now, here's the point: Do high-end parts naturally make a high-end bass guitar in the end?

I do know that I may not like the outcome tonewise. It's more like: Do I have to be afraid of holding a $20-worth piece of wood in my hands after all?

Opinions and experiences welcome!
