Dude that is one of the coolest looking basses I have ever seen everything just fits together, all the lines the hardware etc. I know how they say you can't really judge an instrument by the pictures but I can feel how nice it is to play just looking at it!

 

[Dolando]

Thanks for all the kind words! And you're right...it plays as good as it looks. 5 string fretless Gecko 5 is on agenda next....just need to decide what I want...haha.

 

[Dolando]

Oh and it's in August guitar of the month if you fancy a vote. hehe.

Hello, thanks!

Sorry forgot to reply to you. I'm not sure on the final weight of this, but it's pretty heavy. Much heavier than my Warwick streamer stage 2. Sounds fantastic though.

Incredible build!  Love the zebrawood top and the matching headstock.  And the black hardware just pops.

 

[Dolando]

Thanks. It was lots of fun planning it and putting it together.
