Rush, don’t walk (right?) to check out the Fender Artist USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. Combining features from three of Lee’s choice basses (the two Fender Custom Shops that bear his name and his original ’72 Jazz Bass), the USA Geddy Lee has a custom, one-piece maple neck with a thicker profile and 9.5″ radius maple fingerboard, as well as 20 medium jumbo frets with white binding and white pearloid block inlays. It comes loaded with dual custom-voiced, vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups and a signature Hi-Mass bridge and vintage-style tuners for perfect pitch and tone. Limited to only 100 worldwide, the Fender Artist USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is as rarified as its namesake, and a modern-day warrior to boot.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icons.
