Custom Shop Geddy Lee J... 35" scale EDIT: 34"
« on: November 18, 2013, 12:34:03 PM »
Not a typo, apparently (the 889 mm measure also equals 35").

That's an interesting mod. EDIT: Fender's website says 34". So 35" was a typo. Maybe the "35 years of touring" part threw them off

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

$8,000 MSRP? That extra inch sure costs a lot!

Dave, you're ready to go into the Internet scam sales biz...

You can buy a real '72 with black blocks for less than half of that price.
