Pics of Showcase neck BTN647, which is on its way to me now. Padouk with Macassar Ebony.  :) For now, this is going to go on my existing Warmoth "Ell Pee" style flat top body; the existing neck (a baritone Wenge with Ebony) will move to my newly acquired Mahogany VIP body, and its existing...

I just received my (belated) birthday present to myself.  What better way to celebrate my gradually advancing age than a new Gecko bass!  :D This is my first ever unlined fretless Gecko neck.  It's made of Zebrawood (with laminate stripes of Purpleheart) and has a gorgeous...

We already have the option to put 4+1 tuners on the Deluxe 5-string necks, but there's no corresponding 3+1 headstock for a 4-string neck. Basically, I'd like to see something similar to a MusicMan 4-string bass headstock, with 3 tuners on one side and 1 tuner on the other.  This could work for...

So this new Gecko body showed up at my house today: Here are the specs:  Gecko 5 medium, one-piece "unique choice" flamed maple top and a poplar body core, with a green dye finish on the front and transparent green finish on the back.  They did an outstanding job on the finish...

Here are a few pictures of some things you won't see on the Warmoth site any more.  :evil4: Showcase neck GN218 This unique choice top (LT838) Anyone care to take any guesses about the final result(s) ?

I'm going to start off with a few observations about myself and then open this up to everyone. As a bassist, I somewhat enjoy listening to other "bassist virtuoso albums" (e.g. Michael Manring, Jaco Pastorius, Gary Willis) but I find that I don't usually like this type of music as much as other...

Today I finally moved the Geckos to the wall, instead of sitting in a combination of various floor stands (plus a few gig bags strewn about for good measure).  Here are the results. I attached the Hercules wall-mount guitar hangers to a 6-foot-long piece of "1x8" hickory from the...

Here's a special neck.  This one has a fingerboard made of dense green Ipe, with laminate stripes of Bubinga on the back.  The Gecko inlay and fretless lines are Ebony. The color and grain are absolutely stunning!  It has a nice greenish tint that I haven't found in many other...

Does anyone else see what's wrong with this banner ad?

Here's one of my recent builds.  I'm only putting it in the "Work in Progress" section because I intend to test a number of pickups with this bass. Some of you may remember this fretless Bubinga neck.  URL here:  http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10220.0 It's been installed on a...

OK, here's my latest concept.  It's a bit of a departure from my usual bass builds, in that it would have 4 strings and frets.  All my Warmoth builds so far have been 5-string fretless Gecko basses. Neck:  Padouk J-bass neck with Macassar Ebony fingerboard.  (showcase BN2705) Body:  Alder...

Here's a Gecko neck I bought last year: More pictures here: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10220.0 I originally had this neck mounted on an Alder body with a translucent blue finish: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10816.0 However, I have since bought...

Here's Gecko neck #9.  This was a custom order which Wyliee helped me to realize.  Everything you see below is Canary, with the exception of the laminate stripes (Wenge) and inlays (Ebony). I'm pleasantly surprised by how yellow this wood is, in comparison to other Canary necks...

Okay, this is now the 8th Gecko neck that I've ordered, and the second that I've bought as a custom order (instead of the Showcase).  It's made of Wenge with a fingerboard of dark Pau Ferro. I ordered this with Pau Ferro because I used to have a fretted Gecko neck with the same...

OK, first up is the Black Korina body that I received last month.  Original forum posting here:  http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10319.0 This body has been temporarily attached to its neck, which is made of Purpleheart.  I originally had this neck attached to its matching...

For the moment, I am going to name this the "Blueberry" bass.  This was purchased near the end of the 30th Anniversary Sale. I was going to name it "Bluebinga" since it will have a Bubinga neck, but apparently I was outvoted 2-1 by the twins. I like how the Alder grain looks under a...

I know I probably shouldn't be looking at more Gecko bodies, but this one looks nice.  I need advice on what type of finish - not a solid finish, not clear gloss/satin, but something else with color where I can see the wood grain. Ideas?  :)

This is a follow-up to my earlier post in the "Suggestion Box" category, regarding custom pickup locations on a Gecko bass body. The body arrived today, and it is PERFECT.  The pickups are in the exact locations that I specified.  I call this configuration the "Turbo" placement, since both...

...to match the Warmoth metal decal, of course!  Wouldn't this look awesome?  :)

I just received showcase neck GN200, made of solid Bubinga, with Bloodwood laminate stripes on the back.  As usual, I ordered it with fretless lines.  Here are some pictures that I'd like to share. Once again, Warmoth has outdone themselves.  This neck is simply beautiful and it...
