    Meanwhile, at Warmoth..."Maple Core Custom" limited edition *sets*

    Meanwhile, at Warmoth...solid Bubinga Gecko body

    Wow, nice.  And they ordered the "turbo" pickup placement as well!  Exactly what I would have done.  :) I have a similar bubinga body.  I'm going to guess 7 pounds.

    Gecko hard shell case

    Fender's new ABS molded cases seem to work just fine.  I bought one a little while ago and tested it out this evening with one of my Gecko basses, and it fit pretty much perfectly. Granted, there's a bit of extra space around the body (since P and J basses are a bit more bulbous) but it didn't...

    First Warmoth... Gecko medium 5

    Excellent choice of woods! Hey, that's the EMG MM5TW pickup that you've chosen, correct?  I have one that I'm not using any more.  PM me your shipping address, and I'll send it to you.  :)

    GECKO - opinions needed please...

    I think it was made in early 2010.  I saved a copy of the images from their website in April of that year.  I remember it was in the showcase for at least a few weeks.  I don't know anything behind the neck lamination, other than it was very different from anything I had seen before...

    GECKO - opinions needed please...

    Yep, I remember this bass as it "made the rounds" several times on Talkbass, through varying stages of modification.  I almost bought that neck when it was sitting in the Showcase for a while.  :) I agree with 'ihnpts'.  I like the look of the white pickguard (as well as the shape) and it's...

    Are there items of clothing/accessories you won't compromise on?

    I'll skimp on pretty much anything *except* comfortable shoes and my Utilikilts.

    I'm tempted.

    Fretless body wood?

    Black Korina might be a bit lighter than Walnut.  It depends on the tree.  I've found that it has a nice midrange-rich tone, similar to Mahogany.  It will sound very nice with a stiff neck wood such as Wenge.  I'm not sure I have tried that combination yet, but it should be very nice.
