Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass® Guitar - Maple Fingerboard - Black

Description

Bassists have loved playing and hearing the signature Geddy Lee Jazz Bass for years. The new Limited Edition U.S.A. Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is a unique instrument combining the features and specifications of Lee's three favorite basses - two Fender Custom Shop versions of his signature model and the original sleek '72 Jazz Bass - that Rush's revered bassist/vocalist has riffed away on before millions of devoted fans worldwide and on many mega-selling albums.


The neck has a thicker custom profile and sports a maple fingerboard adorned with elegant white binding and white pearloid block inlays. A Geddy Lee signature HiMass™ bridge provides rock-solid intonation and increased note attack. The two vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups are specially wound and voiced to sound like those on Lee's prized 1972 original, generating enormous tone that crackles with life and bristles with pure energy.
