EdLib-3 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Up for sale is my thunderously awesome Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. As a result of a Fender factory mess up, the one I have (serial number: US15099634) is a USA Geddy with a neck with black fretboard inlays (meant for the limited run red version), rather than the standard pearloid inlays. This is a unique one of a kind USA Geddy. More details on how this came about, and some correspondence with Fender to verify this, can be found on this thread from the bass's previous owner: Plays and sounds as good as you've heard these basses do, the pickups are absolutely huge and beastly sounding and the tone control is the most effective and wide ranging I've ever experienced on any passive bass. The thicker-profiled neck has a unique and super comfortable oiled back of the neck finish in addition to the period-specific finish and binding on the rest of the neck. Comes with an ABS hard case with all the case accessories. Condition is overall very good with a dent on the bottom edge of the body, a bit of light finish scratching due to buckle rash and a couple of very small knocks on the headstock (please see photos). I want £1250 for this which is what I paid for it - no trade offers please as I need the money. A quick look at the Fender website shows that these basses now retail at £2,349 new so this is a good deal on a bass of this quality. Collection or a meet up would be strongly preferred, or I could courier this in the UK only at the buyer's expense. Here is my feedback from previous Basschat sales for assurance of an honest transaction: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/306417-feedback-for-edlib-3/ Any questions let me know. Thanks.

ead Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I prefer the black inlays to the pearloid jobbies. Looks lovely GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The geddy lee jazz basses are stunning. Just to check, does this have the same neck profile as the pear inlay jobbies? Very interested, but depends on sale of other things first (isn't it always!). Will be watching keenly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Kev it's the same USA Geddy custom thicker neck profile, just with black inlays as opposed to regular pearloid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
