CHRISDABASS Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) hi after creating a really awesome bass from all my favourite parts of my geddy lee (the neck and bridge) and my bravewood jazz (body, pickups, scratchplate etc) i now have a bass created from all the parts left over its a geddy lee body, pickups and scratchplate a bravewood neck, tuners/machineheads, and bridge i also replaced the stack knob arrangement on the bravewood body with an audere pre (cheers Nick) so that stack knob complete plate with pots etc etc could be available too the bass i created from this little experiment is purely my prefference, it doesn't mean that the parts left over are somehow inferior! they're just not as "me" so this feeler is to try and work out if any of these parts would sell?? anyone interested yet? lol also advice on price would be nice...... fully loaded geddy lee body £££??? bravewood maple/rosewood neck £££??? bravewood jazz control plate with stack pot arrangement £££??? any help or advice would be great!! and if all else fails i'll just keep complete it cheers Edited April 19, 2008 by CHRISDABASS
birdy Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Don't do it. Keep both basses so that you can put them back to original should you decide too. I think you will destroy the value of the Bravewood in particular if you part it out. Just my opinion. You are happy with the super bass you have now so you may disagree. What do others think? Steve
King Tut Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I'd def be interested in the body to go with mt 74 neck!
NancyJohnson Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Keep them, but I think along with a lot of people here, I'd just like to see photos. P
Kev Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 ye id advise to definatly not sell this you may have the bass you want, but you'll lose a lot of money from it when it comes to selling them in the future
warwickhunt Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Let Sibob know about your stack-knob plate, he's after one I believe.

I have a load of old 70's Fender parts, who cares iof they left the factory in their current combinations, they make great basses in any combination. I'm a player not a collector so I don't look for investement, just quality instruments. Get the feeling you're a similat guy Chris? Chris

MB1 Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 MB1. Hello again Chris! Id keep hold of them parts!... a complete Geddy lee signature is always gonna be worth more than a FRANKENSTEIN one me thinks! if you do get bored of it ,you can rebuild it!......sounds like the Bionic Woman This!
Kev Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 if you can afford to keep it, keep it gas will find you one day
Sibob Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Oooooo, stack knob control plate?? :-D If u part out, i got shotgun! The pots aren't for me though as I'm after 500k and i assume the Bravewood stuff is all 250k Si Edited April 15, 2008 by Sibob
