Cheap for a Japanese GL jazz.

I would snaffle it now but the guitar rack is full and I'd be in big big trouble if I buy something else......

Cheap for any MIJ Jazz, never mind a desirable high-spec god-sig model.

Tempted, despite the fanboi connotations...

Isn’t it supposed to have a specific scratch plate ?

[Reggaebass]

That’s a nice jazz for the money , and accepting offers

Just plain white on the original MIJs. For the 2012 Clockwork Angels tour Geddy used a custom plate bearing a symbol from the album artwork - not sure but these might've been used on Geddy sigs around that time. This bass pre-dates that, though.

Did someone here get this?

I certainly should have but definitely didn't. My Shuker Orange reverse headstock jazz more than covers off my need for fizzy Geddyesque tones.

I hope the GL went to one of our community. It would make me feel better, having battled with my other gear buying self not to press buy it now.

Wasn't me. Unfortunately!

It’s a keeper I’m afraid.....

😥 not entirely surprised😁

£600 may be a fair price, but it isn't cheap.

Looks battered to me. My £600 would have been safe.

Have they gone up that much then? I certainly wouldn't go north of £500, and absolutely not in that condition.
