I know that this bass plays great sounds wonderful - and it is a passive bass - but do not let that deter you - it is a steal. Besides you can always make it active with one of those pop-in active preamps on the market - aka J-Retro, Audere.
This model new sells for about $800 - used between $500 and $650. Be careful - the tone is catching.

You are right, the Geddy lee is one of the best J basses out there. I had one with an Audere Preamp and it was great. My problem comes in switching basses and adjusting to the scale, spacing , and radius. Some people have no problem doing this, to me it is a pain.
Thanks for the input.
