Trade a jazz for a Geddy Lee?

[embellisher]

I have heard a few stories about neck problems with Geddy Lees. Mine is an early one, and it is rock solid. I usually just have to adjust it once or twice a year due to seasonal climate changes.

I think you did a good thing, BDR. The MIM Jazz is a decent bass, but the Geddy Lee is a solid, pro level bass. I have gigged many times with mine. It has a sound that is difficult to get in a lot of newer J's I have played. And if you like slim necks, there is none slimmer than this one!

Does Fender cover replacement necks for faulty Geddy necks?

If it happens during the warranty period, they pretty much have to cover them.

Man it would suck if it got all twisted after the warranty period! How many cases of this have you heard?

Thanks guys, I'm real happy with my choice.

I thought that neck warpages were excluded from the warranty due to this limitation in the warranty:

Damage to finishes or cracks, splitting, or warpage of wood due to changes in
temperature or humidity, exposure to or contact with sun, fire, moisture, body
salts and acids of perspiration, guitar straps, guitar stands/hangers made from
vinyl, plastic, rubber or other synthetic materials, any other chemicals or non-
Fender-approved polishes.


Has anyone had a neck replaced? Maybe this is just a bass urban legend.
