Geddy Finally Came Home!

Doc,
You don’t need to take the neck off, use a paint can opener

So glad it was worth the wait. You have a nice stable of basses . Enjoy !!
I honestly don’t look at the classifieds very much at TB. What I have found is that it seems to be pretty hard to sell a bass on TB lately which is all the more reason to really want any bass I buy.
Love it like you should. Gorgeous bass. Congrats. Sounds fantastic but you knew that already. Enjoy.
I adjusted the neck. It took maybe three minutes. I think I can live with it.
this is the reason I still hold onto my ‘77 precision. In my head I’m like “it’s such a pain if I have to adjust the neck” but then, like you said, within three minutes I’m back in action.....pun intended
Nice Dr., now enjoy and have fun for a long time with it hopefully...
My reputation proceeds me. I stopped flipping my basses a few years ago, at least I stopped flipping my main players.
Here is a little more thumb wok. I love the tone!
I'm more mediocre than you.
hah, when it comes to mediocre, I got everyone beat...If you say so.
I admit my jazz basses don't sound anything like this, they don't sound like any jazz bass at all for some reason. but for sure, a GL would be on the list to consider if I were to get a fretted bass. Which I might have to at some point.
BTW, is the GL MIA? or is it a MIM.... I guess I could just look it up on fender.com but I'm too lazy right now lol.

Mine is American. It has a different neck profile than the MIM and CIJ Geddy Lees.
After a ridiculously long layaway, I finally took my American Geddy Lee Fender Jazz home. It is great, but the fact I have to take the neck off to adjust the neck (just like a vintage Seventies Jazz,) is a pain in the butt because it could use a little tweak. Still, I am very happy because I have wanted a Seventies style Jazz since the actually Seventies. I will never forget when Bootsy’s RubberBand opened for Parliament, and Bootsy had a pretty white Jazz because his original Space Bass had been stolen. I remember War’s original bassist, B.B. Dickerson, on stage with Jazz, and I remember the guy from Spain in Heatwave who had a Seventies Jazz too. Ironically, the one time I saw Larry Graham, he had an Alembic.Of course, the greatest bassist of my generation, Marcus Miller, rocked a Seventies Jazz, and his Fender is his number one till this day. The funny thing is that I always loved the Geddy Lee Signature Jazz much more than the Marcus Miller. I almost bought a CIJ Geddy about fifteen years ago. That said, I am a pretty big Geddy Lee fan too. I would like to unload my Music Man SUB5, but I may keep it since no one is biting in the classifieds. My Geddy is my four and my Pedulla and my Carvin are my fives.
This has nothing to do with the bass, but I'm jealous of those experiences!

Congrats on the Geddy Doc. And here I thought you secretly got it sometime back and we're just keeping it from us. One of these is still on my list.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
