Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass BK

29

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!
Marc-Antoine B. 01.04.2014
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.
