Geddy Lee in Black or Sunburst? I can't decide!

haha i was literally just looking at the sunburst one on ebay a few minutes ago! im always a sucker for sunburst. Esp with a maple fretboard.

 

The sunburst is cooler. Drop a tort pickguard on it and you are in flavor country.

 

Black and put a black plate on it.

 

I'm not usually much of a 'burst kinda guy, but for some reason I really like it on the Geddy...

 

The black is the standard for Geddys so the 'burst is rarer by far. I've wondered which I would choose because the bulk of my 39 piece collection(guitar and bass)is black or sunburst. I would try to play each and go from there.

 

I would say Black, it just seems like Classic Geddy to me.

 

I'm guessing they mainly play and sound the same. I ordered one in black but the deal fell through, the next one I saw was sunburst, a bit less in price, went for it. I was never a great fan of a sunburst finish but when I got it out of the box it just looked like a work of art. Fell in love with it. The odd thing is as I was taking out of the box head-first, it just looked more and more beautiful. And clean. Oh, and sounds amazing as well.

 

I have a Geddy in a burst - big fan of the burst!

 

Yeah... there are tons of the black ones out there. Go for the 'Burst..

 

Sunburst is always better for resale than black.

That makes it a no-brainer.

 

Sunburst for sure! Looks amazing with the black pick guard and Geddy neck!

 

I agree..

 

Maybe they should rename the sunburst one the Aston Barrett model?

 

I have a Black Geddy Lee and a Sunburst 70's Jazz and I love them both. Who knew that the Sunburst would look so good in ones hands. Either choice will be a winner as the bass itself is awesome.

Enjoy.

 

Do you have any idea how many times I've heard that over the past forty-five years?

Always plan for resale, even if you're "NEVER" going to sell it. You'd be surprised.

 

I was just thinking the exact thing!
