Congrats on the Geddy. To me this is the best Jazz bass Fender ever made. Enjoy!

Ugh! (…U-Need-Um Tires!

Wow! I'll have to hit you up for some recommended pawn shops next time I visit the city of my birth.First good deal I’ve made in a pawn shop in quite a while.
Morning all,.....no pics of lawn equipment yet........ to answer the price questions,...even though you're not supposed to kiss and tell,..... I offered $400 out the door, they made me pay tax on the $400, and I gladly accepted. Not Golden Pawn,.....a Cash America, Golden Pawn was more fun when a bassist buddy of mine worked there. Kevin Flint, GREAT player! And btw, returned the weed eater for another one, this one works well. Got the chainsaw running correctly, only to realize, someone had installed the chain blade on backwards!
I'll see about fixing that after my second coffee. The bass is playing great after the truss turn and holding nicely. So glad I didn't order the Sterling Ray34 before I found the Geddy. They were both $400.
$400+tax? I am officially jealous!
Good score, haven't come across anything that nice in a pawn shop, or even most guitar shops for that matter lolJust picked up this little gem for a song! Went in halfway looking for some cheap lawn tools, weed eater, chainsaw, etc , and saw.... this! View attachment 3411420 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!!!
These days on the used market it’s tough to find a MIM GL Jazz (with gig bag) for less than $600. Oh to find the CIJ GL Jazz with OHSC ... this is the bright stuff of dreams. Congrats.
Fantastic! You know Geddy found his #1 a '71 Jazz (that this model is based onJust picked up this little gem for a song!

I've also got a Japanese GL Jazz. It's got the lowest action of bass I've every played and it never has needed any adjustment.
I'm not playing it very often, so I'll probably sell it one of these days. Hopefully I'll get more than $400!

Would lowering the pickups and/or using a different type of strings tame them a little?

Beyond this world strange things are known
Use the key, unlock the door
See what your fate might have in store
Come explore your dreams' creation
Enter this world of imagination
Did all that, strange, just a bit hot, clipping where it shouldn't, if that makes sense?
I've been considering swapping the pickups, but really wanted to keep her stock
