No, quite enjoying the geddy B/W aesthetic. I’ve had 2 GL jazz basses…sold when chasing other gear… The Japanese one I had was black, and a bit weighty. The Mex one I had was mega light and sunburst. Reckon another Black one might be on the cards… now…what to do with this stuff… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 P/G change needed to my eyes, mint green would be better IMO. Nick the one off the white one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a packet of pickguard screws on the way as that’s one of the few things I didn’t get with the MIJ body. So it won’t be a big deal to try - not 100% sure it will work. I’ve also used my spare Yamaha big strap buttons on the white body so will swap them out as they’re ace, but a bugger to get hold of. no rash decisions - might see if any interesting necks come up for the white body; I’ve a spare Gotoh string tree in a packet and a spare set of resolite machineheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Nice work. However I think that for the full Geddy P a Badass II or similar will be required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That white body would look good with either a maple fretboard and black pickguard (think Dee Dee Ramone) or a very dark fretboard and a mint or brown tort guard. Either looks like you have another interesting project on your hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do with a big parts bin empty… I’ve done a quick comparison of the mint on the black. Looks like it’s “trying” to look vintage…quite like the stark contrast… hmm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Stingray 62 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 It looks great Andy but I think it would look even better with a Badass bridge on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but a line has to be drawn somewhere... Looking Geddy Pee is cool, but sounding it? Andy has to sound like Andy Tee 😉 Always felt that a BA takes something away from a P bass rather than adding to it. Imho of course.

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Though how would I go about making myself a Geddy Poo? Edited January 28, 2023 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience high mass bridges in general smooth/round out/off the tone and in a way makes the bass sound more polite and uniform, I'd even claim lacking character and sounding kind of bland, in comparison to a traditional bend steel plate vintage style bridge.

AndyTravis Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 I’m going to hold out for a used one - that way I won’t “lose” £40 to find out. I did change my Mendel to a bbot - not sure what informed that decision…think it was because I swapped to TI flats and didn’t see the point of adding sustain to dead flats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
