Geedy's New CS Jazz

[Mike M.]

I made the mistake of going to my local music store... They had a used Geddy for $600, mint condition, and it played so perfectly. I can't get it out of my head. The problem is that I just bought another Jazz six months ago, and the wife would kill me.

I know what you mean. I played a new one about two weeks ago....never tried one before and it truly was one of those basses that played itself.

Just saw one on ebay for $600 including HSC (not mine, by the way).

For that price I would pick up another one!!

RUUSH is the greeatest!

I'm getting a sweet looking cherry burst Jazz with a Geddy neck in a couple days and this thread is making me salivate for it. Too bad it won't be relic-ed. Oops, did I just say that out loud??

EDIT -- I wonder if I can add a picture:

Enjoy the bass! I used to own it!

$675 if you include shipping. Still a good price I believe. However never know what it will end up selling at till the auction is over. I have not bought anything off ebay in years.
When I used to buy on ebay, I would decide what I wanted to pay for the item with the shipping included. Get everything ready and hit the submit button with my max amount at the last second. If I won it I won it!! If not then it was not ment to be

If you think it'll help, go for it.

Here cut and paste this for her.

WOW!!!! $600 huh? Those things usually go for MUCH, MUCH, MORE than that.
That's a steal at that price, you'd be crazy not to move on that right away. You're NEVER gonna find a deal like that again.
I know you probably have to run it by the queen of your abode but I'm sure she's a super intelligent YOUNG lady that would NEVER allow her husband to miss out on such a bargain.
You're truly lucky to have such a cool, understanding, supportive, and, awesome wife.
I specifically recall you telling all of us here on TalkBass just how great she was to you, and how she truly was the best thing to ever happen in your life.
I think she'll probably just buy it for you, I mean after all the compliments you share about her, and constantly boasting about how great she looks every day, and how incredibly flattered you are to wake up each day knowing she's there.
What a score, you seem to have THE BEST wife EVER!!
And, you go and find yourself a bass for a fraction of the regular price. Well done sir on all accounts.

There ya go, now she can't possibly say no, let us know how it goes

Thanks! I'm sure it will work. It's a fool proof plan.

Wow! I just noticed Geddy has modded his Black Jazz to look a lot like my '74 Jazz has been looking for the last 10 years. He has great taste....

Here is a picture of the bass before it was shipped to Geddy

Personally, I like the MOP inlays better than the black.

Hey guys, just got home from the Rush show and had to find out more about that green bass. Congrats, Echovox, I just saw him play it in Detroit 2 hours ago and it sounded and looked fantastic.

Building a bass that Geddy is touring with is one heck of a compliment to you as a builder. That's a great looking bass.

Thanks for the compliment!

Just wanted to say: What an awesome thread! Why it's so worth spending time on TB.

Heck yeah! No hating, just shared interest and fun. It should always be this way.

For all you Ged heads, if you haven't seen this thread, check it out. Ged's former bass tech, Russ Ryan, has lots of cool posts.

I made Steve Harris a backup to his West Ham United bass.
You can tell the difference between the two by his real one the Fender logo has worn off and the one I made him has the early 70s Precision Bass logo on it.

So awesome. I can't believe this tidbit was glossed over, but I'll start a new thread about Steve Harris's basses.

Here is a picture of the bass before it was shipped to Geddy

Crap he will send that right back, it is all scratched up (in shipping maybe?)

The Sonic Blue one that is referenced earlier in this thread is a Nash I believe. Read that somewhere a couple years back I think.
