andydye Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) [s]For sale as I've been to visit Alan in Moffat and have come away having bought one of his basses so I need both cash and to make some space in the house pdq!! This is for my superb modded Geddy Lee fretless...the story is as follows: The original Geddy Lee Jazz bass (2001) was modified by its original owner (McGraham) to have an upgraded Schaller bridge, Dimarzio Model J pickups and a fretted Shuker neck, when I got the bass on a trade I sold the neck to Krysh in Hamburg, the ramp to Fretmeister and sent the body (black - alder) to BassDoc. BassDoc has added a beautiful fretless J neck with Hipshot ultralite tuners which, coupled with the 70's pickup spacing gives a thrilling fretless burp like no other fretless I've ever had, I've gigged it once and it was brilliant! If I could I'd keep this one too... [b]I've since changed the strapbuttons for schaller straplock ones, I'll leave the Schaller strapbuttons on it and will also include the strap attachments. I'll include a neoprene strap too![/b] There is also a replacement [b]standard jazz wiring [b]loom [/b]with CTS pots and switchcraft jack socket (received [b]from BassDoc[/b]) [/b]that can be dropped in to replace the modded electrics (it currently has a master volume, a 4 way rotary selector for pickup choice and the usual tone pot, this setup works surprisingly well actually). The body has a few scars / mojo marks from it's former life (see pics), I've cleaned it up but haven't filled in any of it's paint chips...it comes in a functional but untidy looking warwick rockbag [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157629542231959/[/media] [b]£500 inc uk shipping - rock bottom price for a superb sounding and playing fretless j![/b] It's got a set of Labella 760fl flats on it too and they feel amazing, lots nice than the Lakland Joe Osborn flats I put on my Highway One P![/s] Edited March 20, 2013 by andydye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydye Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 If I was to part this out it'd probably go something like this...(prices include UK shipping) Ebony fretless J neck (incl hipshot ultralite tuners) - £300 Fully loaded Geddy Jazz body (incl all the below) - £300 [i][color=#A9A9A9]Geddy Jazz Body (incl control plate, spare wiring loom, neck plate and bolts) - £200[/color][/i] [i][color=#A9A9A9]Schaller high mass bridge - £50[/color][/i] [i][color=#A9A9A9]Dimarzio Model J Pickups - £80[/color][/i] So it's a steal at £500 inc uk shipping for all of the above isn't it? If someone offers me anything over £450 (inc uk shipping) we've got a deal and I can buy myself a little G&L tribute JB-2 to play with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be contacting my pro-engineer mate to see if he can offer some wisdom around getting it all to work...or at worst (best results though) I'll see if I can pop round to his flat and get him to do the recording!

Completely different then i'd play it for the contrast & also we have a couple of tracks that are begging for a bit of fretless vibe! Its like buying houses at the moment, stuck in a chain! If only..... then I could buy yours & you could get the G&L etc etc. All the best, Norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have no means with which to produce sound samples and my mate is unavailable for assistance just now...it sounds like... bridge p/up = diamonds on the soles of her shoes if you have the tone up and smoothness with the tone down both = that jazz quack but with pleasing mwah neck = nice and thick but still with the fretless character the ebony neck and dimarzio model j pickups really work well together to bring out [i]that [/i]fretless sound!
