12 string bass necks

[Micahbell]

Possible?
I understand how this wouldn't work well with standard fender neck pockets, but could this work with with medium or wide Geckos?

Man, that's a tough one. Obviously, it would take a custom order that you probably would not want to hear the price of. Designing the headstock to accomodate a dozen tuners would be a minor nightmare.

if you have the tools, you could always order a Deluxe 5 paddle head and cut it out yourself

all the best,

Is there bridge hardware available for that?  Must be quite the bridge!

Paddle headstock is likely the way to go.

I've seen folks use the Schaller 8-string bridge that Warmoth sells for 12-string basses.

It IS a damn shame that Warmoth won't just do Gecko 12-string necks.  If it were possible to build a Gecko 12ver, I'd do it in a skinny minute.

Ask them, THEY MIGHT TAKE YOU ON ! ! ! ask for Ken, ask respectfully, they are Totally busy, but a muse under Ken's nose might become a taker!?
No disrespect at all Ken !  He has taken on (special) projects from time to time. They are a 3rd generation Company. ala Gecko
The 4th is just around the corner. They are caring people,they NEVER look for "Making a quick buck". They are VERY passionate about what they do ! They look for innovation, they never look for flavor of the month, always sound and proven paths ! The cornerstone of their success.

I mean "lic. by Fender" speaks volumes!

I've met Ken and Paul on a couple of occasions through the decades, and they are men of TOTAL INTEGRITY! TOTAL!

I had called and asked and got a no go on it.
I didn't, however, ask to speak with Ken.
I assumed he was kind of an un-reachable guy.
