The Gecko is designed for a 35&#8243; scale neck but I wanted 34&#8243; scale for the fretless. I contacted Moses and they asked to have Warmoth not route for the pickups so they could set the proper placement. The body is Koa with a quilted maple top. Steve Patience (guitar paint\/finishing) of Livermore was affiliated with a shop called Fine Fretted Friends. I looked him up recently and unfortunately discovered he had passed. He did a beautiful job for a great price. Moses was very accommodating with my ideas for this bass. We started out talking about just making it a fretless then I called them up about making it also a headless. They said no problem at all. I get tons of questions and compliments about this bass everywhere I play. It has become my main bass on LoNero&#8217;s two tours in support of Tony MacAlpine. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"03917_01_mckaigg-moses\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"03917_01_mckaigg-moses\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/03917_01_mckaigg-moses.jpg\" width=\"255\" height=\"450\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"03917_02_moses1\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"03917_02_moses1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/03917_02_moses1.jpg\" width=\"206\" height=\"364\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"03917_03_mike-nas1\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"03917_03_mike-nas1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/03917_03_mike-nas1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"307\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/__dTXtMND5I?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want <i>YOUR<\/i> bass to be featured for Bass of the Week?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/botw-entry\">Submit yours now using our easy web form<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The feature bass for this week is a workhorse Warmoth build.
