Brooks81 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 ok thats great thanks for your quick reply Quote
waynepunkdude Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 No worries, TBH I'd go in at £425 and see if that gets it, they are great basses, very thin neck but I like that. Quote
Brooks81 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Yeah from what ive read on here and other places they seem to get very good reviews, ive had a CIJ precision in the past and was impressed.Ive never played the geddy lee and like you say the thin neck seems right up my street. Quote
retroman Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Had a quick noodle on a Geddy yesterday, and the action was insanely low, and not choking at all! Quote
Dubs Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 £425 would be a good catch - they've certainly gone for more than that on here. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I've seen one go for £400 before so you never know. Quote
Brooks81 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 I'll let you know how it goes fingers crossed Quote
Dubs Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1318794150' post='1406306'] I've seen one go for £400 before so you never know. [/quote] Yeah man, you never know - if you don't ask you don't get... Quote
karlfer Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Pick ups on these are slightly more growly than most jazzes. Wish I'd never sold mine Quote
Muzz Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I thought the output from the pickups was quite 'polite' compared to a lot of basses I've played. I love the neck, but I'd decided if I ever went for one, changing the pups was job no 1 on the list. Given the current list price, 425 for a nice one is a great price to pay. I'd certainly go for that. Quote
ashevans09 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 awesome bass, you'll love it if you get it. Good luck! And really Muzz? Found mine to be quite a growly little thing Quote
RhysP Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 [quote name='Brooks81' timestamp='1318926019' post='1407691'] I think these CIJ basses are up there with the USA made stuff. [/quote] Many people, including myself, would say they are far better than the USA made stuff. Quote
ben604 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Good buy, that. They're excellent basses. *cliche alert* - I wouldn't sell mine for anything. Quote
Dubs Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Yeah that's a great buy, especially with a hardcase + strings and strap. Quote
dmccombe7 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Well done. You won't be disappointed. I paid £625 in a sale at GAK few yrs back now but noted they had gone back up in price again. That's what happens when Rush decide to tour the UK This is my pick up and go bass and use for virtually everything these days. Great neck and basic passive controls. No stress All the best Dave Quote
The Dark Lord Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Geddy necks are very thin. Thinner than your usual Jazz neck. If you're used to a Precision, for example, you might not like it. Quote
