Hi there,
This is my second Gecko.
Some specs:
- neck is from the showcase - indian rosewood with wenge stripes and ebony board
- beech wood fretlines
- walnut body with natural oil finish
- Hipshot A style bridge
- Warwick tuners
- Warwick Just-a-nut I brass nut
- EMG-40TW pickup in the "sweet pot"
- vol/tone controls (vol is push/pull for coil splitting)
- gabon ebony knobs
- schaller straplocks

Body front and back. There is some use wear above the pickup. The disadvantages of oil finish... :icon_biggrin: The cavity cover will be replaced by a walnut one and will be upgraded with black screws.

Headstock front. D'addario Chromes are great strings for a fretless (and the SLs are long enough for a 35" through-body stringing) but that blue clothing drives me crazy! :sad:

Headstock back. Warwick tuners are 100% the same as Gotoh ones. Only cheaper...

Fretlines and the Gecko inlay. Warmoth offers only maple or ebony lines. I thought a wood that is a tad darker than maple is better for this bass so I made those lines myself. I used beech wood.

The gabon ebony wood knobs are from Mr. Brian Williams' ebay shop. He makes very nice knobs so check his items! The volume is push/pull for coil splitting.

The Neutrik locking jack almost fits in a standard 7/8 jack hole, only a little rasp work required.
