FS: Warmoth Gecko 5-string fretless

[porteous]

I'm needing to pare down my bass collection, so I"m selling my Warmoth Gecko 5-string fretless.

Here are the specs:

-Adler body with walnut top, satin semi-gloss finish
-Maple neck (medium width) with ebony lined fretless fingerboard.
-19mm string spacing at bridge.
-Alembic soapbar pickups
-Bartolini 3-band preamp
-Kahler bridge.

Weight: approx 8 lbs

This bass was put together for me by a tech at my local music shop (Subway Guitars) in 2006. It's in near mint condition.
Comes with HSC.

What are the functions of all the knobs?

[TimBosby]

Bump. I just sold my Gecko too but this one has a gorgeous top.

Scale length ?

[tubby.twins]

It's probably a 35" scale, just like all the other Geckos.

This is a beauty. The pickups alone must have cost a small fortune.

Bump for a Beautiful looking Gecko!

I've got a similar Gecko fretless (alder body/quilt maple top/ebony finger board/Bart 3-band/Bart CB P/U's) and these are great sounding and playing fretless basses. Plenty of mwah and growl!

IMO you won't get a better playing, sounding & looking fretless at this price. Just the parts on this bass would be around $1200-1300.

Good luck with the sale!

The 2 top knobs (closest to strings) are master volume and pickup blend. The blend pot is notched for a equal mix.

The lower 3 are treble cut/boost, mid cut/boost and bass cut/boost. All 3 are notched in the middle for flat response.

In addition, there is a trim capacitor in the electronics cavity that adjusts the frequency of the mid cut/boost control. I know some people add another knob on the top of the bass for this, but I thought 5 knobs was enough, and this is something I would seldom (if ever) use

The scale length is indeed 35"... Also, it comes with a fairly new set of Thomastik jazz flats.

Bump.. I had to take this off the market for a while because the blend pot was bad. I had it replaced, and it's now good to go...

OMG!! Man if this thing was fretted I would have taken it

[bassguyky48]

I don't play fretless, but just the Alembic pickups would cost $400--$500 dollars!!!! You never see them except occasionally in a p-j config on a modded or custom instrument..........This one looks like a $2000 plus bass.............
