Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass®
Model #: 0197702806
Highlights
A Greatest Hits Instrument
Lee’s new signature bass blends the best features of his two Custom Shop models with those of his original ’72 J Bass®.
Custom “C” Neck Shape
A thicker “C” profile imparts a more substantial feel to the slim and comfortable J Bass® neck.
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.
White Binding and Inlays
White appointments, including sleek pearloid block inlays, instill elegance into this awesomely energetic instrument.
Custom Voiced Pickups
A pair of American Vintage ’70s Lee signature pickups provides plenty of punch and clarity along with genuine vintage Fender vibe.
Special Headstock Signature
Lee’s signature the back of the headstock commemorates the lasting legacy of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most versatile and technical bassists.
