FS: Geddy Lee Body / Warmoth Neck (graphite rods) both Loaded

[aproud1]

Up for sale is the Wargeddy. Yeah thats what it's called... The bridge and tuners from Gotoh are sweet. I'm a fan of top load bridges and not of the Badass so thats how that got on here. The tuners are my new favorites. This is the third project I've used them on and they are sweet super smooth 28:1 gear ration.

Anyway it's a Geddy Lee Body stock except for the Gotoh Multitonal bridge and over-sized strap buttons. In good shape except a pinhead size ding in the front left of the body.

More info about the bridge...
Gotoh Multi Tonal Series 4 String Zinc Bass Bridge w/ Duraluminum Saddles (Chrome)


The neck is a Warmoth graphite reinforced J neck maple/ebony with 6130 frets. Finished with satin poly. Has Gotoh GB640 Res-o-Lite tuners and a hipshot string retainer. Also has a brass nut. The nut was originally curved on the bottom so was filed down and shimmed with a thin maple strip. It's solid and Is cut just right.

Info on tuners.
Gotoh Res-O-Lite GB640 4-In-Line Vintage Style Bass Machine Head Set Nickel / 4

As is bass plays great. Just got a new 5 string and need some cash.


I'll sell the bass as one complete piece or separate the body and neck.

$600 for the whole shebangor $300 for the neck and $300 for the body. All prices are shipped CONUS.

Neck Sold. Price drop on body $275 shipped.

Forgot to add... I finished it.

Sanded down to 800 grit sandpaper then fine scotchbrite. Did 4 coats of poly smoothed out between each coat with scotchbrite. Probably could have stopped at two coats but it turned out great and is silky smooth.

Frets are like new. Noticed there is a tiny ding on the face of the headstock pictured below..

Couple questions:
what is the weight of the instrument?
Is the neck profile standard or slim?
What kinda pups are in there?

+1 on the GOTO tuners. I have them on a couple of my basses....Love them!

Weight on my crappy scale is about 9.25 lbs
Neck profile is standard. I did remove a bit before I did final sanding and finishing not much maybe 2 mm. Feels like a jazz neck neither thick nor too skinny. I prefer my necks somewhere in the middle but have a hard time paying Warmoth to sand when I have to do it anyway.
Pickups are stock for a 2008 Geddy lee which I believe are Fender vintage jazz bass single coils. They do have the beveled edge on the pole pieces.

Glad to see some love for the Gotoh tuners. It's amazing the difference they make. The Gotoh bridge is equally well made. less hard angles than other bridges in the $100 range.
