Mean, mean stride. The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass® guitar 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. The bass has an alder body; the thin one-piece C-shaped maple neck has a maple fingerboard with black binding and black rectangular position markers. The two vintage Jazz Bass single-coil pickups crackle with life and bristle with the energy. Other features include chrome hardware, vintage-style tuners and a custom High-Mass Fender bridge.

HIGHLIGHTS
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.
