Here you go................

Hey STDC, That is exactly the settings I play onstage with. I can hear what need in my in-ears and the sound guy gets a consistent signal from me. The way we run our basses (everyone plays bass at some point in the night) there is no amp to fiddle with. All the bass guitars go directly into the...

Hey STDC, It is the preamp that comes with that P/U from Seymour Duncan. All prewired. Never had an issue with pots before. I've got this same system in 4 Geckos as well as in the purple one. I like how they sound. I like the diversity. I like the bottom end. It's kinda like a Big Mac. You know...

Glued on fur is too messy. I ordered three strap-on Santa Claus beards that are quickly removable should the ever popular 'bass solo' rear its ugly head! I can't truly get any tapping speed whilst trying to flip my beards out of the way. Purple dye is the best. I wondered if the pearloid...

You know, Cage, I'm glad you noticed that. The way I see it, I turn one knob most of the time. If (for some reason) that knob breaks off or ceases to give me the Purple tone that I was obviously going for with this particular build, I can quickly turn another knob (Yes, even ON the fly) and hope...

Couple of build pics:

Well, it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! :laughing7: I'll get some in progress shots up soon.

Oh boy! Here we go........ '51 Deluxe 5 PBass body with a tummy cut. Bound in Pearloid. Neck is Deluxe 5. Reverse tele headstock. 1-7/8" nut width to feel similar to my Geckos. Also Pearloid bound. Getting a Hipshot A bridge, a Music Man active P/U from Duncan. Hey, these are stainless steel...

I don't know about anyone else, but that first snare hit at soundcheck might as well be a 9mm going off right by my head. I have gone to in ear monitors in the last year, but too many years in front of Marshall cabs and cymbals on stage have got my ears ringing a lot of the time. My wife is not...

These are all 32" shorties. I have played these out and they sound great. They are both active with 3 band EQ. I assembled them myself and then had the nut work and action adjusted by my guy. The fourth pic is of my 32" shortie lined fretless. It is a passive bass, but really sounds good as...

Thanks Bagman, It's getting a Wenge / Bubinga / Ebony job with stainless steel frets. Canary Gecko. Just put the tuners on that last night. This is my first taste of the stainless frets. I know someone around here thinks rather highly of them.  :evil4:

Hey all, A first look at my new Gecko body. Camphor Burl on Mahogany with Maple accent line. Clear Gloss finish. Just got the ferrules pressed in. Neck pics to come soon. Way excited here. :blob7:

The front and back of my Carved Top Tele.

Hip, hip, hooray!!! The images of the new and improved Humbucker ring screws are up on the site. They really are quite fabulous pix if I do say so myself!!! :kewlpics: http://www.warmoth.com/Humbucker-Mounting-Ring-Screws-C849.aspx
