Straight Swap: Fender Geddy Lee Jazz BODY for Your Precision BODY


Recommended Posts

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

Short version: Will swap Geddy Lee Jazz Body for Precision Body.

Long version:

What I have is this:
[attachment=34918:Geddy_02.jpg]

A Fender Geddy Lee Signature Jazz bass, MIJ, bought new in 2005.

It is in good overall condition, apart from a few minor things which I will discuss shortly (its finish condition is so good that you can even see my greasy finger markings on the photo :) ).

This is a great bass, with the little issue that it's a [i]Jazz[/i] bass, which means it has one pickup too many for me to get along with :rolleyes:

I will, however, not let go of the formidable neck. Therefore I seek to trade the body for a Precision bass body.

First, what am I searching for? A Fender Precision body, preferably MIJ (since this is supposed to be a straight swap), but if you decide that you want the body so badly, I will also gladly consider an American P body.

The preferred body colour I'm after is black, closely followed by, ha!, white, and sunburst. Surely, any other colour will be considered too. Preferred pickguard colours are white for a black body, white for a black body, or tortoise, black or white (not wait, scrap that :lol: ) for sunburst.

Here are the small issues I mentioned earlier:

I have adjusted the Badass bridge so that the string spacing is even now. I wonder why they couldn't get that right the first time. The impact is only cosmetically, and some people prefer even string spacing.

Small ding can be seen in the picture. The hidden part: I changed the volume/volume/tone configuration to master volume/pickup selector switch (single pus, both parallel, both in series)/tone. If wanted, I could put it back into the original configuration.

Some very small scratches from changing strings.

Without photo: A pickup cover was installed over the neck pickup (will be included too). The original white pickguard is included, too.

I would want the P body to be fully loaded (bridge, pu, controls, pickguard; I don't care about strap holders).

I'm located in continental Europe (Austria, that is), but I guess shipping a body only is much less of a hassle then hauling around a full-size bass.

Cheers,

Christian
