I really like the red jazz bass that Geddy has in this pic- http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/images/tourbooks/snakes-and-arrows-8-l.jpg I'm lookin to get one like it, can anyone help me out? And has anyone heard anything on the new Geddy Lee Jazz coming out soon?
Ged's red jazz is a Fender custom shop model. Assuming you can't swing something that expensive, chwck out www.warmoth.com and pick up a J body with a flamed maple top, and have them stain it red for you. Then pick out a neck, pups, hardware, and assemble it. Voila. As far as the new GL's, the only changes I know of are improved tuners and a sanded neck.
Yea its a Custom Shop Bass, but I believe that I read that he actually does use the Geddy Lee Signature necks on them, except he wet sands them down to remove some of the finish...
have someone refin a geddy lee jazz for you or if you want the flamed maple body really bad id say warmoth like someone else did.
