Used Geddy Lee Jazz Value?

I am seeing them go used for 600+ these days. I got mine late last year for $550 used on ebay. So, that being said, if it doesnt affect sound or playability I would say thats a good deal (though I would say something like...Ill give you $200 because I like you )

 

$250 sounds about right, in my opinion. Those go for ~$650 used on eBay, and even if the body is totally trashed, you could replace it with a new licensed Fender black body for less than $400 and break even.

 

I would LOVE to find one for 250, however that "crack" doesn't sound good. If the crack is only in the finish and not a split in the wood then I would go for it.

 

dude that sounds like a great deal man! I own one and I'd have a hard time selling it...take a look at it and play around with it-if it's good to play and it should be-then go for it. I guess the real question is can you play it with a strap at all?

 

I had a Geddy Lee bass but sold it because I like my MIA Fender and stingray better and it wasn't getting any playing time. I sold it for $525.00 in great shape. $250 for the bass is a low risk IMO. If you play it and it sounds good then that's a great deal for a blemish no one will see except you. Even if you could never sell it again whats $250 in todays world. Keep it or Donate it to a aspiring bass player with no equipment.

 

I wouldn't call an inch-long crack in the body a "blemish," but I agree, that wouldn't ruin a bass for me. I'd want enough of a discount that I could replace the body down the road, if necessary, and still break even, though.

 

Where exactly is the crack?

I might pay more than $250 if it's in a place that's not likely to be any sort of problem, except cosmetic. If it were around the neck pocket, $250 is the most I'd pay (the neck & electronics alone are worth that). If it's out of the way of the electronics cavity and lengthwise (not front-to-back), and not splitting apart, I might go to $300 or even $350, if it seems unlikely I would need to replace the body at all, and it wouldn't affect tone or playability whatsoever.

Anyway, $250 is a good/fair deal. Post pics when you get it!

 

P.S. Here's a Geddy body on eBay for $270 (no electronics) (no affiliation, of course):
