So any experience with Black Limba as a bodywood for bass?  I'm looking for something a little more tru-oil friendly than alder (at least aesthetically).

I have two basses planned, I'll start with the first one. Bass #1 is going to be a 5-string, Bb standard tuning, looking for a modern metal/rock sound.  I was looking at the Gecko 5 from warmoth for this project.  I don't know a whole lot about woods for bass.  What wood be the best combination...

Warmoth doesn't do 5 piece necks.  I just put in a paddle headstock from warmoth and it ended up right around $290-300 shipped.  Plus, if you picked out a specific pau ferro board that looked as good as this one that would add to the price as well. I mean if you have a better idea for a price...

Price drop, $250 shipped.
