Electric Bass

It's high time that bass legend Geddy Lee gets his own signature model, and it is at first glance rather modest with no striking peculiarities: a jazz bass almost off the shelf, if it were not for the combination of selected parts from Geddy's favourite basses. For example, the neck that corresponds to that of a 70s model.

A robust unobtrusive grafter that has exactly the power needed to once again prove that one jazz bass is easily suitable for different sounds and playing techniques

Fender Geddy Lee - amazing bass!

John1588 28.01.2014

I went through a lot of basses before trying the Geddy Lee.
I love the 70's styling and the traditional jazz bass look and sound but wanted something a little different - as a rush fan this made sense but I would normally like to try before buying - I shouldn't have worried - it arrived quickly and well packed and looks amazing!
The sound is very nice with a thick sold bass tone and a bit of growl that helps it cut through a busy band mix nicely. I've gigged it with several types of band (from 60's thourgh to modern hard rock) and it has always sounded perfect for what I need.

The big advantage to me is the shape of the neck - it is a little slimmer than any of the other jazz basses I've owned so it feels a lot more comfortable to my hands and makes it less tiring to use during longer gigs.

I can't imagine ever replacing it - apart from to get another one! Fantastic!

Damn good!

This is a really good bass in an afordable budget. Excellent JB with good handling et easy to slap. The sound is pretty nice but could be better with a couple of Delano's or Seymour's.

Almost excellent bass

Povdov 18.01.2023

This is a very lovely guitar, but has some issues.

1. It's like half vintage, half modern bass - I don't get it. It has modern great sounding pickups and excellent high mass bridge, but truss road adjustment is vintage style - you have to remove neck to adjust neck. I don't see a reason for it.
2. Mexican factory doesn't set up guitar at all. It tool me like 3-4 hours just for basic set up. I had to remove neck like 4-5 times to adjust truss rod.
3. Mexican quality is not great. Guitar has some minor cosmetic issues. Also, neck pocket is routed really rough. I will definitely have to bring this guitar to my luthier for minor corrections and set up.

Overall - this guitar is good. It sounds very open, punchy and rich in harmonics. Simply plying unplugged you can hear a difference.
I was comparing it with Fender Jazz Bass Fusion II made in Japan, that had exceptional quality and decided to keep Geddy Lee. It simply sounds better.

I hope this review will help you to choose.
