gafbass02 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Ok this is a VERY tentative feeler as i dont even have the bass yet!! Due to a long and sad story i no longer have my KSD (see talkbass for details!) and am awaiting by way of replacement a brand new from the factory Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass, which ill end up hugely overpaying on but hey thats the cost of being a big soft get and supporting your local music store - bummer. So the bass will be literally, totally brand new, most likely an '08 . Now the problem is i really dont like black basses!, im just a tad limited on what i can get from the store, and the Geddy seemed the most solid choice! So unless its breathtakingly good enough for me to change the preference of a lifetime when it arrives (like the black sparkle ray in my avatar!) someone could be looking at a [i]very[/i] nice deal! Id be interested in a straight swap (no cash my end) or a swap with possible cash adjustment (to me) for: a MIJ '75 reissue in natural ash with maple board and pearl block markers (good condition, fully functional truss rod etc) [i]Possibly[/i] interested in other stuff, status etc, whatever, but good nick and [b]Fully functional[/b] but only four strings por favor! Please [u]PM[/u] me if you have any offers or ideas, ill let you all know when the bass arrives, and what the score is but im 90 percent sure id prefer a natural body on a 70s style jazz. Im into jazzes, not p-basses unless 70's and usually prefer fendery stuff but im open to ideas. sorry for the weirdness! i may end up keeping or just selling for cash, but its due in about 12-14 days Edited May 7, 2008 by gafbass02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Seller is in Bristol.) Also, you can still buy used stock from Ishibashi, and they had a few of these in recently. You just need to check every day as they come and go quite fast.
