GEDDY LEE SOUND AND STYLE

The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is an exact replica of the tonally singular instrument that Rush’s revered bassist/vocalist has riffed away on in front of millions of devoted fans worldwide and on many a mega-selling album. Lee remains an acclaimed and enormously influential bassist and, with mean, mean stride, his best-selling and elegantly styled signature model makes your tone crackle with life and bristle with the energy, with massive low end, guttural midrange and crystal-clear highs.

SLIM NECK WITH "C" PROFILE

Geddy Lee’s signature Jazz Bass model has a notably slim neck with a "C" profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) for remarkably smooth and comfortable fretting-hand feel.

 

BOUND MAPLE FINGERBOARD

The maple fingerboard of the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is framed in cool black binding.

 

GEDDY LEE HIGH-MASS BRIDGE

Specially designed with direct input from the acclaimed Rush bassist, the High-Mass bridge on this bass has a cool contemporary look. It also has a lot of metal, which means it has a lot of mass for rock-solid sustain, intonation and tuning stability.

 

AMERICAN VINTAGE JAZZ BASS PICKUPS

The phenomenal sound of the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass comes from dual American Vintage single-coil Jazz Bass pickups that "crackle with life" and "bristle with the energy."

 

BLACK BLOCK INLAYS

The maple fingerboard of the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass features stylish black block inlays.

 

’70S-STYLE STAMPED TUNERS

The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass features the nicely authentic touch of 1970s-style open-gear tuners stamped with the classic Fender script logo.
