NBD pawn shop find

[voodoobassist]

Just picked up this little gem for a song! Went in halfway looking for some cheap lawn tools, weed eater, chainsaw, etc , and saw.... this!

CIJ Geddy Lee with case and strap locks. They had a very reasonable price on it, but after some discussion and the promise of paying their asking prices on the lawn equipment if he accepted my offer on the bass, we struck a deal. Just got home with it, popped the neck for a quick truss adjustment, and wow! Low low action, plays and sounds great! First good deal I’ve made in a pawn shop in quite a while. Will get better pics after I edge the lawn and trim some branches!!!

I'm 100% jealous. My NBD is not what I wanted but I got it anyway. Your NBD is the one I truly wished

Congrats.....These pawn shops around me are crap!!!

I haven't seen a good deal in ages.
I saw a Squire AFN P yesterday for $199, and I told the guy that's what they cost new, and walked out.

Very very cool!

 

[voodoobassist]

Thanks for the kind words. It does look like I’ll be taking at least one of the lawn tools back though. Weed eater won’t run for doodley. Chainsaw is taxing me as well. About pulled my arm outta socket getting it to start.

I dunno nuffin about Jazz bass, but I promise you that a cheap used chain saw is nothing but pain and suffering...never worthwhile.

Niiiccceeee!!!

Sweet! The Japanese sure know how to make a 70's style J bass

 

[Spirit of Ox]

My favorite Jazz bass. I have an 03, put a red tortoise shell pick guard on it.
I want a sunburst one too.

A man must have priorities. lol

Very nice. Being a lefty, the pawn shops are nearly useless to me.

Nice find and a great bass!

 

[jeff7bass]

IMO the Geddy is one of the best basses they ever made.

Now you just have to grow out your nails for that true Geddy tone

I know it’s rude to ask, but what did you pay? We need numbers so we can be appropriately jealous!
