 I started making my own bass bodies some years ago for two reasons: The first was the ever-growing price of "good" basses; Secondly, my musician/chiropractor friend, Dr. Steven Blomerth, told me that I could have less back trouble if my basses were balanced and not neck-heavy.  He was right. 
 
5-STRING.  Ten-piece Mahogany body with bookmatched birds-eye maple top. Warmoth neck. EMG active electronics. Original design. A photo and story of this bass are currently in Warmoth's gallery page under "Gecko" on their site.
