Pick up this bass and feel the Rush

You just seem to radiate a different vibe when you play a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. This bass just seems to have a little more mojo than the average Jazz Bass. To put it bluntly, it just kills in both looks and sound! Just pick one up, wrap your hands around the surprisingly comfortable extra-thin neck and listen to the tone - old school, full, and punchy! Even if you're a fan of Geddy Lee, we guarantee that you will become of fan of the Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass once you get a chance to play and hear it.

Geddy's bass, based on a classic Jazz Bass

Built according to Geddy Lee's personal specifications, it's based (so to speak) on the '72 Fender Jazz Bass, one of the best-sounding and most versatile basses ever made. Whether your style is rock, metal, hardcore, funk, blues, country, or jazz, the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass can do it all.

A replica of the rock legend's instrument of choice

The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is a replica of the instrument Geddy has used extensively for both recording and performing in front of thousands of Rush fans worldwide. Featuring an alder body and neck and maple fingerboard (34" scale length; 20 medium jumbo frets with black fingerboard binding), this axe is custom-fit with two U.S. Jazz Bass single coil pickups (neck and bridge) and a Geddy Lee High Mass Bridge.

2020 Fender Geddy Lee Signature Jazz bass MIM

After giving our local shop an opportunity(they told me they couldn't give a date when or if they would receive one) I opted to contact Sweetwater. I loved the fact that you could have a choice of not only which one but even select the serial number. It was an incredibly easy process to purchase the bass and easy checkout.

Within the very next hour, an engineer named Kyle, called me to follow up, verify and answer any questions I may have had-WOW! I quickly received my bass at my door and very well packaged. After opening, I inspected my bass which was not only perfect, but IN TUNE, I was just completely blown away by the experience.

To be honest, one of the best if not the best experience I've ever had. The bass is absolutely incredible-tone, fit and finish and the neck is very nice, thin-absolute BUTTER! The neck has black binding, a very nice touch. It also stays in tune, it's a very reliable and trouble free instrument that I feel will hold up over time. It truly is one of the best jazz basses I have ever played-period.

I'll definitely do this again. My e finer Kyle was great, I had great customer service and plenty of follow up. Something the local stores do not seem to do anymore.
Music background: Drummer/Vocalist; bass is primary instrument these days

Jury is still out

I purchased this bass because I've ABSOLUTLY loved the way it looked and sounded for Getty. Always thought I HAD to have one and frankly, I'm glad I do. They say you can't be a bass player without owning at least ONE Fender.

Great tone. Nice pickups (for a stock set up) and I put some Elixers on her

The reason form you ONE missing star?
I've been playing Ibanez basses for years. Then I added a Schecter to my collection and still quite happy

Do your research before buying this guitar. I never knew or thought that a Fender would have four less frets than less expensive guitars. I'm a big guy and it looks like a Strat on me. Not to mention my "self developed hand position" system of knowing what notes I'm playing without looking down is out the window.

So, all in all a great guitar and if it's your first, you'll never notice ANY problems with her. But it's taking some time for me to get comfortable with her so My 2006 Ibanez GSX650 is still my "number one", with this one a close second

Ok... Review Update

I purchased this bass in March with the high hopes that a Fender would impress me SO Much, that it would become my "Number One".....

It did.

I hardly touch any of my other basses now... The TONE I get out of this bass, along with its smooth playability has actually helped improve my bass playing.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Buy one of these. You wont be disappointed...
And buy it from Sweetwater. When I ordered it, I told my sales engineer to send me the heaviest unit they had. The idea being "Heavy would sound full". It does

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
