90’s Japan reissue body. 2017 Mexico Block and bound neck Hipshot Lollipops. affectionately known as the Geddy P. born today on my kitchen table.

Yeah - will keep an eye out once payday comes round 😉

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.

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…

It may 😂

It’s plumbed in

@Bassassin that’s the Geddy Tea(rdrop)

I’m not 100% sure as I didn’t mess with factory wiring on it for the bridge pickup, just swapped the neck HB for a Fender player P pickup. Sounds fuller when neck is soloed now. and both together is lovely.

Think this would look good…and a badass/omega…

Hmmm. no rash decisions yet.

Geddy Pee! (no wiring or anything done yet…)

Yeah - it looks good for 25-30 years old. Less scars than I accrued by that age anyway 🤭

Well…let’s see what the evening brings.

Nice MIJ body, super clean routing; and wears its age well - mid 90’s - is that right @alexjbassist?

Bit of a weird one. Recently posted about putting this together… Then, in a fit of “oooh look” I bought an MIJ Precision body and all associated bits. It’s black. This blocks and bound neck, with a white guard would be like a Geddy Lee precision…and that strikes me as verrrryy cool. And the p/JJ setup is beautiful on this, but I’ve already got similar sounds with the Yamaha BB… Do I flog the blacktop body and make a Geddy Pee? I’m not playing with a band currently so I’m not losing out. Might do a mock up tomorrow. or tonight…see if the gin flows.

Once at a country fair thing. It was a depressing as it sounds.

I am not into it at all…but if I won one in a competition I’d want it to be the sunburst 🤣

Actually…sunburst looks better

Steampunk Hoppus? nah.
