FS: Fender Geddy Lee Jazz body in GOLD SPARKLE

Sign in to disble this ad
**SALE PENDING**

This is pretty much the coolest thing ever...

A 2004 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass body re-finished in gold sparkle that is insanely....um, sparkly. No photograph can truly do this finish justice but I've done my best with and without a flash at various angles.

Two little dings I found - one on the back edge near the battery box and one on the side edge (side edge one looks a little bit reddish.) Otherwise the finish is dang near perfect. The back of the bass was routed for a battery box, which is included, and there is another rout underneath where the pickguard goes, presumably to house an on-board preamp.

Original neck plate + screws are included. Ground wire appears to be installed.

I bought this on a whim and ended up not needing it. But if you ever price out a gold sparkle or gold flake finish from a refinishing service, you're likely to be told it will cost $400 or more just for the finish. Not to mention an unloaded J body will usually cost $100-$250 depending on where you buy it. Here's your chance to get what would normally cost you $500-$650 for a lousy $175 plus shipping (lower 48.) I'm just trying to re-coup my losses, and hope that this can go to someone who will actually use it for some sort of obnoxiously awesome gold sparkle Adam Clayton style J-bass project

The only trade I would consider is an un-loaded P/J or P body. I don't care if it's finished or un-finished because I'd have it refinished anyway. Must fit a 34" standard Fender style neck.

Would CONSIDER it, but I would like to exhaust my domestic possibilities first. And you would pay actual shipping. But I'd certainly consider it.

Memorial Day weekend bump.
Lots of nice inexpensive necks and pickups in the Classifieds here.
Could have a sweet sparkly J bass for not too much scratch.

I'll be out of town this afternoon through Monday evening so just e-mail me because I think the hotel has wi-fi.
