Looking for a new bass and I'm really liking the possibilities that exist with the Gecko. I'm a bit concerned about the necks though. My go to bass is a Lakland 55-94, I'm absolutely in love with the neck and I'm wondering how the small and medium 5-string Gecko necks compare. Do they tend to be more slim like a Lakland/Fender Geddy Lee  or more fat like a Fender P or a Spector? Or, is there another bass to which they'd more accurately compare?
 
Bump. Anyone, anyone...Beuuuuuller???


I tried looking on Warmoth's site, they provide the fretboard radius and width, but there's no info about neck thickness. Anyone know where I can find more details about neck dimensions?
 
They're probably on the thinner side.  I don't have exact measurements handy, but they're not as thick as a Fender P.
 
The Geddy is an exceptionally thin neck and is a 4 string.  I haven't played any 5 string Laklands lately, but I'd say the Gecko profile is thicker than my recollection of Laklands.  Remember the Gecko necks have an asymetrical profile so you'll get a bit more thickness on the bass side than the treble side.
