Geddy P(ee)

[AndyTravis]

Bit of a weird one.

 

Recently posted about putting this together…

 

 

Then, in a fit of “oooh look” I bought an MIJ Precision body and all associated bits.

 

It’s black.

 

This blocks and bound neck, with a white guard would be like a Geddy Lee precision…and that strikes me as verrrryy cool.

 

And the p/JJ setup is beautiful on this, but I’ve already got similar sounds with the Yamaha BB…

 

Do I flog the blacktop body and make a Geddy Pee?

 

I’m not playing with a band currently so I’m not losing out.

 

Might do a mock up tomorrow.

 

or tonight…see if the gin flows.

I really like the look of that Andy 👍

[AndyTravis]

Nice MIJ body, super clean routing; and wears its age well - mid 90’s - is that right @alexjbassist?

Yeah - serial number suggested mid 90s.... Played but nicely looked after condition I thought?

Yeah - it looks good for 25-30 years old. Less scars than I accrued by that age anyway 🤭

Geddy Pee!

 

(no wiring or anything done yet…)

I preferred the white body with mint guard to be honest. 🙊

 

But snot mine is it. 😎👍

[AndyTravis]

Hmmm.

 

no rash decisions yet.

[Maude]

But I do have an irrational fear of black P's with white guards. It comes from every cheap, nasty catalogue bass being black and white when I were a lad. 

That's why I bought a black and white Attitude 2! 😄

I'm with @Maude..white and for me

Think this would look good…and a badass/omega…

Geddy Pee definitely - mainly because it hasn't got that massive pickup by the bridge 😁

I am with the crowd who prefer the white one with mint pickguard and dual J pickup at the bridge.

 

How is that dual J wired by the way, parallel or series?

I’m not 100% sure as I didn’t mess with factory wiring on it for the bridge pickup, just swapped the neck HB for a Fender player P pickup.

 

Sounds fuller when neck is soloed now.

 

and both together is lovely.

Black wins.

 

Geddy P all the way.

That thing makes my teeth itch.

 

The bass, not Geddy.
