I've had this bass for a few years and it has NEVER let me down. I have never had a single problem with it EVER live nor in the studio. In short, the Gecko is indestructible.
The specs:
Body is Koa, fitted with a Seymour Duncan Music Man 5, which I covered with tape to cut down on clicks, the Duncan active pre-amp with volume, mids, concentric bass and treble, the volume knob pulls up to activate a different EQ curve. Hipshot bridge, and countersunk Dunlop Strap-Loks.
Neck is the medium width, Maple with Purpleheart laminations, 24 fret 35 inch scale Pau Ferro Fretboard and Ebony Gecko inlay, Ibex horn nut (the guy who made it told me it was) Gotoh tuners. I put the Warmoth logo on the headstock of course.
I string her up with RotoSound Swing Bass 66 long scale. I use a 4 string set with an added 135 for the low B.
I had the whole thing painted black, against the advice of every Warmoth employee that I spoke to during its construction. HAHAAAHAAHA! it's amazing!
Whether I'm playing fingerstyle or slinging low for metal madness, I can always count on the astoundingly powerful attack paving way for the resounding warmth that holds down the band like iron chains imprisoning a dragon! HAHAHAHAA! I love it. I hope you've enjoyed my submission. Warmoth, thank you for listening to me during the build, It's BADD!
