Geddy Lee is a Canadian born musician, singer and songwriter primarily known as the lead vocalist and bassist in the Canadian rock group Rush. Lee's style and technique on the bass guitar has inspired many bassists over the years, and his work is still as popular today as it was in the 1970s. His collaboration with Fender has been a success with many Geddy Lee fans, with a recent USA Jazz Bass which was previously released.
With its alder body coated in a smooth, black, polyester finish, the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass offers a lightweight bass guitar that can be wielded all night long. Its one-piece maple neck features a comfortable C-shape neck profile, that allows players to effortlessly move their hand along the neck with ease and speed. Finished in a Urethane gloss, the maple neck offers a smooth feel and a natural appearance, that is contrasted elegantly against the black alder body.
As well as boasting a classic look, this signature model bass is equipped with two American vintage single-coil jazz bass pickups which offer a classic tone replicating Geddy Lee's original bass. These single-coil pickups are easily controlled using the independent volume control for each pickup, and the master tone control.
Not only does the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass provide the perfect sound and looks, its also offers a custom high-mass Fender bridge which enhances the overall sustain, and provides rock-solid intonation for a clean performance.
No Bass guitar would be complete without a quality set of strings. The Geddy Lee signature model is equipped with Fender's own 7250 Nickel-Plated Steel strings, which combine the high output and dynamic sound of steel with the smooth feel of nickel. These strings are perfect for rock, funk and other styles of music where the bass needs to cut through, and add extra essence to the overall sound of the replica bass.
