Everyone loves to spend money

I'm in the same situation with about £500 to spend and unsure what to buy. I went to my local music shop and played every Jazz they had Mexican (road worn jazz being one of them) and US but the only one which came close to my Geddy was, of all things, the Squier Vintage Vibe. I love the retro look of the new Mex 70's classic Jazz Bass as well but when I played it the neck felt awfully chunky. [attachment=38033:jazz_of_my_dreams.jpg]
My advice is to try out a Geddy and you may just fall in love with it. They have a great sound and are really a pleasure to play because of their incredibly slim necks.

It's not that interesting really....Lessons will do a lot more
for your playing than buying gear that you don't 'need'.
I'd always recommend some lessons to anyone.

and a Fender to counteract the Ric's
