Hey guys as I said times are tough and I figure no point going warmoth if my only choice is to cheap out on it. I have an Ibanez soundgear (http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR505) with mahogony body, 5 piece wenge bubinga neck and rosewood fret board. I want to build my own not just...

Anybody try it yet. I was hoping to just do a two band but it looks like anything I can find is not only three band but with sweepable mids. It is not a bad idea since mids are so important to bass but most of the time it is easily done on the amp and I tend to get myself into "overload" with...

That's what I was looking for thanx Wyliee. 19mm hipshot is looking like the one right now. I really would like a single string bridge though. It would look so right on a gecko! Any, do you know what the route price is for the A? or is there a single string bridge out there that will work even...

I know I want a gecko 5, and the single string bridge doesn't fit. so..... hipshot type A? suggestions, comments, concerns? :binkybaby: Will warmoth even do a route for the hipshot A? What exactly do they route for? I know I'm a little slow but I just am confused on the options for a gecko bass...

Am I correct that the TK-5 is the recommended bridge for the gecko 5? Will they do a route for the Hipshot A style? Thanks again...

Has anybody tried this one? I like the look and idea of it but am not sure about grounding issues. Does Warmoth do a route for this in their gecko 5? Thanks... Dale

Thanks a lot skuttle. Definetly let me know when your site gets up and maybe I'll be one of your first! Will you be carrying the P/J and the preamp? I am a little confused by the preamp though. Am I correct in assuming that all of the controls will be mounted on the inside of the bass? It...

does nordstrand make a 5 string p?

I have a overwound Dimarzio protrack in the neck of my tele. If I keep the volume around 7 or 8 it has a nice warm tone that doesn't mud up with the bass. I had that problem a lot with jazz bands when comping and this pu solved it. No it is not like a full size hb but it has a nice clean sound...

Wow. Thanks a lot for all this info! :icon_thumright: I'm going to have to sift through all of this, but I know I like the modern sound. I've become pretty accustomed to have a mid control to adjust for rooms and such but I think you are right tf that I could just do this on my amp (even though...

Well here is my korina tele with protrack neck, evoII bridge :headbang: and of course the Axon Blue Chip midi  :glasses10:. It is finished with lemon oil neck and all (I thought it was tung oil until I remembered today that I didn't finish it!). I will probably do the bass with pure tung oil...

been awhile since I have been back here due to the purchase of the Pedulla. I just decided that I didn't have the time to build one due to up coming gigs, but now..... I'm still going on the same lines with building a bass (probably sell the Ibanez) except looking at the unfinished korina slab...

Yeah nola rocks (and swings). I have had the misfortune of living several other places and never knew how spoiled I was. Everywhere else just thinks they have a music scene. As to the EMGs....yeah their guitar stuff is not for me, may be great but not for me. I am intreged by their bass stuff...

Oh yeah. the tele I have is solid black korina with a tung oil finish and I just love it. I was thinking the same for the bass but the body in the showcase with quilt maple top and bk back is one beautiful body so I might go with that to save myself finish time. thanks

James: yes I am from nola.....I am not familier with a BK body, can you clarify? Super: That is a good idea. I don't have much experience with EMG other than I always play a tube amp with guitar so they are too hot for my needs in that regard. How do they stack up for bass? I am not sure that I...
