Jul 15, 2014 · I really like the ivory binding and maple neck of the Geddy Lee much better than the dark colored neck of my pro jazz. I don't think anyone, ever, can go wrong with any US jazz though. Geddy Lee's bass isn't built any better than any other USA Fender bass, just check out which one fits you better and buy it. I hope this helps somewhat. Cheers!

Dec 29, 2024 · Anyway, I had a MIJ Geddy way back in the early 2000's and got rid of it like a dummy and been kicking myself ever since. Was able to get my hands on a Geddy finally, here she is: Nice Hard Case, not too big and bulky...

Mar 25, 2005 · I'm thinking of building a Geddy Lee neck replica for a jazz bass project I've got. I read here that the GL neck is thinner than normal.I'd like to find out exactly how thin. What I need is the thickness dimensions at the first fret and twelfth fret, calculated from the middle of the fretboard (between nut and first fret) and back of neck, same ...

Apr 11, 2009 · Lee's amps in the early days were arena-ready Sunn and/or Ampeg models. By 2112, he was using two Ampeg SVTs, one which ran into 2 Sunn 215 cabs, and one which ran into 2 Ampeg V4b 215 cabs. For Hemispheres, his backline had evolved into a configuration of Ashly preamps, BGW power amps, Ampeg V4b cabinets, and Thiele design cabinets which …

Jul 9, 2009 · I quickly found a CIJ Geddy, and played the heck out of it for 3 years. It was one of the best Basses I ever owned. I started playing an older 4001, and traded the CIJ Geddy for a Stingray, but missed the Geddy. I picked up a MIM Geddy a year ago, played it for a couple months, and traded it for a '64 Bassman Head.

May 31, 2007 · I got the new Rush album Snakes and Arrows the other day, and it is a real treat to listen to. Something struck me though. On the instrumental Malignant Narcissism Geddy does a very fast, although brief slap solo. This was about the speed that Claypool does the solo from Laquerhead. Anyone have other Geddy Lee slap lines.

Jan 24, 2017 · The CIJ Geddy Lee basses are very thin at 0.77" just behind the first nut and around 0.92" (I don't remember this exact measurement) just behind the twelfth fret. I would recommend looking for a used American Special jazz bass which is close at 0.785" behind the first and 0.89" behind the twelfth if you can get one in your price range.

Mar 9, 2005 · This was the show where Geddy was playing the Steinberger. For years I associated Geddy with a 4001. I dig what he's done with his Fenders on recordings recently, although I think he goes too far with the overdrive on all of the recent live concerts I've seen. To me, the Steinberger tone he got was his best live tone ever. Fie, I know.

May 27, 2015 · Jack Bruce had much more formal training than Geddy Lee did. I'm not sure Geddy even graduated high school. He was born in 1953, Rush started playing professionally in 1969.

Jun 25, 2017 · 1) Even if you know the Rush catalog and Geddy's parts forwards and backwards, if you could freeze time, walk on his stage, and play his axe and his rig, you may be in the ballpark, but you WON'T sound like him, because 2) You're not him, and it's in his hands. Give him an Affinity Squier Jazz and a Fender combo, he'll sound like Geddy.
