The CIJ Geddy Lee Jazz basses are VERY well built.
I used to own one of the first Japanese production Geddy J's, in 1993. That was the only 70s reissue you could get back then from fender, all others were dot-necks. I remember a flood of complaints about Geddy necks with maxxed out truss rods that keep bending, "green wood" etc, and Fender suggested owners to add Teflon washers behind the bullet... But the neck on my bass, although ridiculously thin, was still very stable. The fist Geddies were quality instruments, comparable to custom shop basses of the time. The bridge pickup was in the correct location nearer the bridge as in Geddy's, the guard was a nice mint green, my only qualm about the bass was that the black blocks were painted and not inlaid. I sold it just because the neck was way to thin for my liking.
