From the '72 Stage Model to Custom Shop Versions: The Geddy Lee Synthesis
Resulting from close collaboration with Fender, the U.S.A. Geddy Lee Jazz Bass condenses the specifications of the Rush bassist's three favorite basses: his '72 touring Jazz Bass and two Custom Shop signature models. It captures the spirit of '70s Jazz Basses with meticulous U.S.A. craftsmanship, high-end finishes, and faithful vintage details.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert bassists seeking a lively and responsive Jazz Bass. Perfect for progressive rock, classic rock, hard rock, punchy funk, and fusion, it offers exemplary note definition whether played with a pick or fingers and remains versatile enough for both stage and studio use.
Sound Characteristics
The alder body provides balance and musical midrange, while the maple neck/fingerboard combo enhances attack and clarity. The two "Custom Voiced '70s" single-coil pickups deliver the classic Jazz Bass snap, with tight lows and bright highs. The Volume/Volume/Tone control layout allows precise blending of each pickup. The High Mass Bridge increases vibration transfer for more sustain and better note hold.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Fender USA 7250ML nickel-plated strings .045-.100, 34" long scale (factory installed, perfect replacement).
- High-quality 6.35 mm (TS) instrument cable for reliable and silent connection.
