gjones Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Geddy Lee Jazz Bass for sale. Posted, in a SKB hard case, the price is £500 (this price includes P&P). Picked up from me in Edinburgh, without the hardcase, price is £450. My Geddy was made at the Fuji-gen Plant, for Fender Japan, in the Year 2004 - 2005. It has the thinnest neck Fender make for a Jazz Bass which is a pleasure to play. I've had it since 2006 and have looked after it well. There is a small dent on the top of the body (shown in picture) and another on the bottom edge of the bass beneath the volume/tone controls but other than that the bass is blemish free. Don't take my word about how good these basses are, let loads of random bass players from around the world tell you how good they are instead. Below are some reviews from Harmony Central.

mr.noisy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I had one of these, sold it and missing it... It's look exactly like one i had because it has only one dent in exactly the same place! But if you have this bass from 2006 then it's not the one i had because i sold it in 2010. Fantastic bass, good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This is probably exactly what I want, let me know if you'd be interested in a bass + cash trade for my beautiful Bartolini equipped Dean, which can be seen in the FT thread here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=150168"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=150168[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mine gets no trade interest I'll try and mark it as for sale, and maybe I'll come back. It'd be a tough call between this and a Marcus Miller J though, what do you make of the differences between them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played a couple of 70's Jazzes (a 73 and a 75) and the necks are quite deep. The re-issues seem to be as well. The Geddy Lee on the other hand is based on a 72 Jazz that Geddy Lee bought secondhand and had a luthier sand the neck down so it was much shallower than a normal 72 bass would be. The Geddy re-issues also have incredibly shallow necks which is why they are so easy to play. Also Geddy Lees are usually cheaper than MMs. Geddys are great! But then I would say that wouldn't I? I'm selling one. Edited August 14, 2011 by gjones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the Geddy re-issues? I'm a bit of a numpty on the Fender front, P basses put me off them at an early age and I've tried to steer clear of them, but I've loved the playability and sounds from the MM and GL sigs I've tried.

The only difference from any other 72 Jazz is that he got a luthier to sand down the neck which is why it's so slim back to front. So I suppose a Geddy Lee is a 72 reissue with a slimmer neck..........if you see what I mean.
