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!!

And PMed again (and texted...!)

Try answering your PMs!!

Is there such a thing as a "Geddy body"?! Surely what makes a "Geddy" is the neck and the various upgrades like the bridge, tuners, etc?? Or am I missing something?

Having read this whole thread I have just changed the wording on my current "bass for sale" advert!! I didn't realise that the term "seller to arrange own courier" caused some people such problems! I have happily arranged shipping for items in the past, but I also agree with Macko's earlier post that allowing the buyer to make arrangements themselves makes life easier for both parties. It also makes it more transparent and removes the possibility of the seller overcharging for shipping (unlikely to happen on here, but common elsewhere!). I don't want to lose potential sales so I am happy to arrange shipping if the buyer prefers this option.

[quote name='Beefyeggo' timestamp='1319026871' post='1409000']Im my experience 'Arrange Your Own Courier' means that seller doesn't want to have any part in getting after-sale claims for loss, damage etc. I'm not passing any inference here, I'm just saying that in such cases the seller wants the item off his doorstep and have an end ot it there and then. I would always walk away from any such deal - just my two pence worth....[/quote] I've never thought of it like that. I've gone down the "buyer to arrange shipping" route a few times and had no problem with it, but I never even considered that it might potentially cost me a sale!! How many people on here would actually "walk away" from a deal where they were asked to arrange their own shipping? I know that I wouldn't...

Looks nice!!! It just doesn't have enough pickups for me...

Some pictures would be nice!

I bought this bass new from Thomann around two years ago. They list at around £500. I've really enjoyed playing it. It's never been gigged, but has been used only in the house and in rehearsal studios. It has a surprisingly wide range of tones for a single-pickup instrument and is very well made. Condition-wise? Well, there are no dings or scratches on the body, and only a tiny amount of buckle-rash which doesn't even show up on any pictures. However... there is some superficial damage to the pickup cover. This was stupidly caused by me. I'd lowered the pickup and for some reason I couldn't raise it again. So what did I do? I took a mole-wrench and tried unsuccessfully to lift the pickup. If only I could turn back time... The Bass Doc retrieved the situation and repaired most of the damage, but it is still visible if you look for it. I have tried to show this in the pictures, which make it look worse than it really appears! Anyway, best to be honest. There are lots of videos on youtube showing what these basses are capable of, and obviously anyone buying an unfamiliar instrument would do their research. It has been recently re-strung with DR Lo-Riders (40 - 125) and is sounding great. It is currently set up with a very low action and is stupendously easy to play. String spacing is very comfortable, even for my large mitts. I've tried unsuccessfully to find a fitted case for this unusual body shape, but the bass comes with a brand-new Fender standard gigbag worth about £20. Why am I moving it on? Well, I am trying to finance the purchase of a Geddy Lee Jazz bass, and also I just find that this bass responds best to a light and subtle touch rather than big fat Geordie fingers bashing away at it! I do not have a light touch... Any questions fire away! I have more pics if anyone wishes to see anything specific and can easily take more if requested. I am happy to package it up for shipping if the buyer wishes to arrange their own courier, otherwise I will ship from this end (at buyer's expense of course!). Shipping should be around a tenner within the UK.
