EdLib-3 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I'm in the process of moving flat in a hurry due to the landlord selling the property so unfortunately I need to raise some money quickly - this is a reluctant sale. As a result of a Fender factory mess up, this bass (serial number: US15099634) is a USA Geddy with a neck with black fretboard inlays (meant for the limited run red version), rather than the standard pearloid inlays. This is a unique one of a kind USA Geddy. More details on how this came about, and some correspondence with Fender to verify this, can be found on this thread from the bass's previous owner: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/302288-withdrawn-fender-usa-geddy-lee-signature-jazz-bass/ Plays and sounds as good as you've heard these basses do, the pickups are absolutely huge and beastly sounding and the tone control is the most effective and wide ranging I've ever experienced on any passive bass. The neck has a unique and super comfortable oiled back of the neck finish in addition to the period-specific finish and binding on the rest of the neck. Comes with Fender hard case with all the case accessories. Condition is overall very good with a dent on the bottom edge of the body, a bit of light finish scratching due to buckle rash and a couple of very small knocks on the headstock (please see photos). Due to the fact I have to move home, this is collection only from Preston Park area of Brighton. The price is firm, and reflects the need for a quick sale whilst also hopefully making it more appealing as a cash on collection only sale. Here is my feedback from previous Basschat sales for assurance of an honest transaction: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/306417-feedback-for-edlib-3/ If you have any questions or want additional pictures, message me. Thanks. Edited November 19, 2022 by EdLib-3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I sold this Bass to Ed and it was me who did all the detective work with Fender to find out about the factory mess up with the neck. No reason to be concerned at all regarding the provenance, deal with confidence! It's a great Bass. GLWTS Ed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdLib-3 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 There you have it everyone. Stone cold proof that this is a legit, one of a kind Geddy Lee Jazz Bass going for a seriously good price, and that @LewisK1975 is a great guy. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinorange Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Ever thought of having it refinished in red like the limited edition red the neck should live on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) wonder if there is a red one with pearl blocks? Edited October 15, 2022 by PaulThePlug 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinorange Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just realised that the red has a 1/4" maple cap and trans finish. That may be a little more tricky to achieve..... Still, with the provenance, this is a great deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the black finish with black inlays on a maple neck looks cooler than on the limited run red version. And a lot more rock 🤘.

EdLib-3 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Just been asked the weight of this bass. I've weighed myself holding it on the bathroom scales, weighs in a touch under 4kg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdLib-3 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 I've changed my mind before about selling this, so you'd better get in quick and grab yourself a great deal while you can. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
