6 string building parts.

[santucci218]

im not a luthier, but i thought it would be cool to buy a neck and pickups and a preamp and neck and all that good stuff and put together my own bass. Sadly, the only site i can find that sells 6 string bodies and necks is warmoth gecko stuff. and i cant say im crazy about a giant lizard on my fingerboard, or the shape of the body. anyone know anywhere else that would work?

2 necks man that will be a beast!

[santucci218]

i think you misread that, lol.

[cricketfever32]

he typed neck twice by accident

[santucci218]

ooh lmao...my mistake! just one neck

[tjclem]

Aww come on go for 2 necks.

[santucci218]

well even if i did want two necks, where would i buy them at!?

[tjclem]

It will be a lot more expensive than buying a whole bass....t

[santucci218]

you can buy all the parts for a 4 string for way cheaper than you can buy one...im sure a six would still be low, and how can you say that it would be more expensive when you nor anybody else has even posted a place to buy this stuff?

The "Gecko" neck is available without the gecko inlay.

yo don't be hatin the gecko

I'm pretty sure rpatter's right, I think they make the neck without an inlay.

[santucci218]

what about a place for 6 string bodies? im not too into the shape of the gecko

[santucci218]

bump

[elros]

How about a Carvin neck through - you shape the body yourself.

[santucci218]

im not skilled enough to do that, sadly.
