Fender 2018 Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Bass Black/Black MIM 48858
This is a 2018 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass in black with black pickguard, made in Mexico. Weight = 9lbs, 1oz.
Condition
Cosmetically it has plenty of small mild playing marks (see pics—I used guitar picks to point to some marks) but no large dings or chips, and no paint missing. One extra screw hole in the lower horn. Medium jumbo frets are in very good condition.
Features
— Alder body, bound maple neck w/ black block inlays
— 9.5” vintage radius, thin C-shape neck
— Vintage style Jazz PUs, hi-mass bridge
Sound & Playability
This is a nice playing bass with Geddy’s 70s style profile, including a killer looking C neck with faux painted inlays and a BadAss II style high mass bridge. Standard Vol/Vol/Tone Jazz controls. This one looks a little extra dark with the black on black setup. String tree upgraded to a roller type. NO case included. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
