    Maybe he thought sticking a Tokai logo on it would arouse less suspicion than a Fender one...

    The fact that he's been told on a number of occasions that it's not what he's claiming it to be surely removes any benefit of the doubt.

    The irony is that it looks OK and if the seller wasn't so dishonest and greedy, he might have got a decent price anyway.

    I think it looks dreadful. The blocks are obvious stickers, the neck pup pool sized cutout is retched, the headstock makes me ill. Could be that the guy doesn't know what he has. He has been told though and the listing is unchanged so I say feed him to the lions. Bar steward.

    This one was made a few years ago, had quite a few fans at the Moffat Bass Bash.
    Fenmanbacker, Jazz neck 21 frets for that high E, solid maple body and a MM pickup!

    Is this for real. Any picture of the whole guitar.

    Why should a bass being owned by someone relatively well known make it ten times it's actual value?

    Never quite understood that.

    It's only worth that much to a handful of people, of that handful only one or two would have the moolah and the balls to buy it. This guy is having a punt if the right person sees it he will get a sale if they don't he won't. My buddy had a jazz bass about 20 years ago that was owned and played by Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix experience. He also had a strat that was played and signed by Rory Gallagher. It was a session guitar Rory had played quite a bit, Picked them both up for small money as well. I bet they're worth a few quid now.

    Mark, you'll have no problems whatsoever dealing with phsycoandy. I bought a bass from him, and he's a great bloke.

    I know, I'm an idiot, I was drinking another glass of wine sat at the dinner table wanting the pickups but weighing up the chances they might be crap all the while I was typing and before you knew it I'd posted. Ah well the deal is done now and I have invested 12.5 of the queens pounds in this good man. Now I must take my new dog for a walk. Good night and thank you.

    Is it? On what assumptions have you based this conclusion?

    If I stick some cheese between two slices of bread, can I call it a "Sandwich". It was not, after all, made by the Earl of Sandwich. Maybe it should be called "Conan's Sandwich-style cheese and bread snack"?

    OK, I'm just being silly now - but it's another bump for Anth's lovely bass! :D

    It's a difficult one! I think the Op was right to change the title, and it raises the question of just what IS a GL jazz? Does it have to leave the Fender factory all in one piece? That being the case, if we make after-market mods does it cease to be a Geddy?

    I love philosophy!! :D

    If I bought a milky way and added some toffee would that make it a mars bar alternately if I had a mars bar and ate all the toffee would that make it a milky way. The answer to both those questions is no. That being said I believe the current title for this thread is more appropriate than the original. This guitar is not a Geddy, it is a beautiful guitar in a Geddy style.

  7. Nothing wrong with these guitars at all Gary, I've got two. The only offputting thing is the tuners. People detest these closed tuners. I'm a fan of them, but the consensus is that they are cheap and mass produced trash and this somehow reflects on the guitar. I think you are spot on with the price you should get a sale eventually. £110-£120 would gaurantee a quicker sale but that's up to you. Good luck with the sale and if I didn't have a pair Already I'd have made a cheeky offer.
