Golchen Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I REALLY like the look of the Warmoth Gecko basses. Has anyone here got or played one? I was just wondering what they are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbassman Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I'm very tempted by [url="http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_bodies.cfm?type=bass&start=1&itemNumber=BP429&menuItem=6&subMenuItem=0&subMenuItem2=0&finish_filter=105,100,79,68,42,43,30,15,12,113"]this[/url] with a nice maple neck on it and black hardware... oh yeah but in answer to your question - no haven't got one and no idea if they are any good or not - general Warmoth reuptation seems to be quite good but what do I know?

BassBod Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The only negative I ever hear about Warmouth is the extra steel rods in the neck - this can make them heavier than a "standard" neck. I guess this is more noticable with a heavier exotic wood neck?? I'd love to see one of their fender necks to find out. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBH Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi, I have a fretless 6 string gecko that I assembled myself. The workmanship of the components is excellent and the finished instrument is absolutely superb. Doesn't seem neck heavy to me,and the overall weight is quite reasonable too,about 9.5lbs. Geoff.
