Exclamation FS/FT: The Most Awesome "Geddy P" Fender Precision w Geddy Lee Neck & REAL 1963 P/U!

Sign in to disble this ad
Why am I offering her up for sale / trade? The neck is a bit too thin (front to back) for my large hands. That's the ONLY reason!

As for trades, I'm primary looking for another P (vintage would be cool) or an old Musicman. +/- cash works.

The Deets:
Bass is an AMAZING player. MEGA-LOW action. Balances well. Tone is about as good as it gets thanks to a REAL 1962/3 Fender P pickup (more on that later). Average weight (I'm guessing 9ish lbs but I can weigh her later). If the neck was not so thin, she would not be going ANYWHERE! This is probably the best playing and sounding P I've ever had.

The Parts:
Fender 50's Classic sunburst body (alder, which many suggest is best wood for tone) - Body has some minor wear
Fender Geddy P neck in excellent Cond
Fender 1962/3 Fender Precision pickup - NOT A REPRODUCTION!!!
Fender pots, cap, etc.
A VERY old Leo Quan Bad Ass II bridge with saddles off of a 1977 P (this config works GREAT and looks unique too, NO ISSUES)

Neck pocket is nice and tight. It's like the body and neck were made for each other.

The pickup alone is worth several hundred dollars. If you are interested in saving money, I can swap it for another P pickup. The same applies for the bridge. I have a nice, nearly new Gotoh 201 bridge that I can swap in.


As for the pickup, I picked it up a long time ago from an old guy that had it laying around with a few other parts from a 1962 or 63 P he had broken the neck on. It's the older version with the black bobbins. He had gotten the pickup wax potted in the 70's or 80's and I replaced the leads coming off of the pickup as the stock ones were in rough shape when I got it. The new leads are vintage cloth wire. I put a cream cover on it. I believe that I still have the original black cover for her.

I'll take better pictures this eve. As is, I'll place a trade value of $1100 on her (or sell her for this). We can discuss other options as well like me swapping in a different pickup and/or bridge to knock $$$$ off of the price.

If you are looking for the ultimate Precision with a Geddy (Jazz) neck, this is it. It's as good as it gets in my opinion. None I've played do everything so well (super low action, nice phat tone, looks, etc)!

Again, better pics will be taken later!
