Members mobass Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I've seen several sites today with the geddy lee jazz for 799. When did they increase the price? Sam Ash had one last week for 699. I might have to pick it up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I've seen it "list" for as high as $1099, but we all know that everybody sells them for $699 all day. If one place has it for $799, check a different place. MF, American Musical Supply, etc, are pretty consistent on their Fender pricing. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TN.Frank Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 MF has em' for $799, IIRC that was the same price as the Dimebag Darrell Bass by Dean that I used to want. That's why I didn't mind switching my "dream bass" because they were both the same price, i.e., it'll take quite a while for me to save that much and get one.

Members Crescent Seven Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 Guys I am sorry but I just dont see what all the fuss is all about I would much rather Have a Ric but that is just me Most people would rather have a Ric. Most brand new Rics don't cost $700. Plus, they're two very different basses, not really comparable. Personally, I'd rather have the Geddy over a Ric, but that's just me. The fuss is all about the narrow neck and coated maple fretboard, and getting the USA electronics and a Badass bridge; if I were going to but another 4 string Fender, it would be the Geddy Jazz. I wish they'd put out a 5 string version with active electronics. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yeah...I just saw one at GC over the weekend...it was $799. I wanted one cause they were cheap (and Geddy is my fav)...but they ain't that cheap now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Admiral Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 I think that Fender/retail stores are getting the picture that The Geddy is an awsome and very popular bass. They fly out of the stores in my area, I was lucky to play one of them, and fell in love on the spot. I ran home and back to the store, traded in my Ibanex SRX705, got kind of ripped off, but it didn't matter I had enough money to buy the Geddy, and have since never GASsed for any other electric bass, my other band mates love it too.

Members Markee Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 If I may put my two cents worth in here;.......The Geddy was my first Bass. I still have it and probably will keep it forever. It's the combination of parts, fit and finish along with the playability that make them so appealing. I think if you guys realize that everything goes up faster in price than Fender products you'll see that these inceases are mild in comparison. I paid $790 dollars for a 40th Anniverary American Strat in 1994. What are they now??? $1099? When the GL came out ten years ago,what were they then?

I see your point; the GL would have been a wise investment decesion if bought before the price hilk for a higher resale value. I need to start thinking more along those lines I suppose:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike fitzwell Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 Wow, $799? Damn! The Geddy was at $629 in MF, GC, etc. for years. Sure glad I got mine NIB for $525 three or so years ago. Like Markee I'll probably have mine forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scampi Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 they're nice basses, I own two and like them a lot - dropped a j-retro and white pearloid p/g in the 1st one (looks sharp) and left the 2nd one stock - the downsides to them are that the tuners could be better - that and having to remove the neck to adjust the truss rod is a little 'too' authentic - sometimes modernization is a good thing and certain practices become outdated for very good reason, regardless of trying to replicate the original specs - also, the inlays are painted on, and while it's still a good look, it looks super cheap up close I bought them back when the price was lower and they were still supposed to be a ltd edition (has the neck plate that says so lol) - at any rate, they must have sold too well because they mass produced them for years and years now - I'm surprised the price hasn't gone up until just now, though I still think they'd sell more of them at the previous price - are these still CIJ?

Members mobass Posted February 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yep, still CIJ. I still may buy one. I love the thin neck and coating, not to mention the block inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
