RUSH's GEDDY LEE Discusses His Fender USA Jazz Bass (Video)

April 30, 2015

In the video below, RUSH frontman Geddy Lee discusses his Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass.

The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass has been a staple in the Fender line since 1998, but earlier this year, Fender announced the addition of the USA version.

The new USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is a new version that combines the specs and features of Lee's three favorite basses — two Fender Custom Shop versions of his signature model and the original sleek black ’72 Jazz Bass 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 neck has a thicker custom profile, topped by a maple fingerboard with elegant white binding and white pearloid block inlays. For enormous tone that crackles with life and bristles with the energy, its two vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups are specially wound and voiced to sound like those on Lee's prized 1972 original, and a Geddy Lee signature High-Mass bridge provides rock-solid intonation.
