Description
This is the bass Geddy Lee has leaned on for decades of Rush shows and records, reissued as a faithful, playable tribute rather than a museum piece. The alder body and thin, one-piece C-shaped maple neck give it that quick, almost slippery feel under the fretting hand, while the maple fingerboard with black binding and black rectangular markers keeps things classy without getting fussy.
Tone-wise, the two vintage-style Jazz Bass single-coil pickups are the real story here. Blend them and you get that punchy, midrange-forward growl that cuts through a dense mix without needing to fight for space – dial back the bridge pickup for thump, or lean into both for the classic snarl that made this bass famous in the first place. A Badass Bass II bridge adds sustain and low-end weight that vintage Jazz Bass setups sometimes lack, giving notes more authority live and in the studio.
Chrome hardware and vintage-style tuners round out a build that’s meant to be gigged, not babied. The narrow neck profile makes fast lines, wide intervals, and busy fingerstyle work feel natural instead of like a workout.
