Geedy's New CS Jazz

[rikshaw]

I just saw them tonight. He played the black one for most of the night. He played the seafoam green one for most of the new album plus some other stuff. He played the red one for the 2112 songs.

Yeah in Nashville he played the white jazz for Bravado. Looked awesome under the stage lights but not as nice as that red one he has. It was sweet without the pickguard, and now it's a little less so.

He played a Sunburst jazz in Baltimore, tonight. Tortoise shell pick guard, maple neck, blocked and I assume bound. Looked like it had a Badass. The white one and the green one also made an appearance or two. BTW, Geddy was sporting a Orioles T-Shirt in the first set.

Sacrilege; he's a Jays fan through and through! Although, especially considering the hype around them this year, there hasn't been all that much to cheer for...

Hmmm... if he's doing local teams I'll be interested to see if he wears a Yankees or (shudder) Red Sox shirt when they play here in CT on Thursday night.

I'm looking forward to seeing and hopefully hearing the new white bass. The sound at Mohegan Sun has traditionally been pretty bad. But when I saw them in Bridgeport on the earlier leg I have to say the green one sounded pretty darn good.

That must be a different bass. I have photos from that show and he has the matching peg and pearl blocks.

HI Jason,

I was just curious, if you are building the new Geddy CS bass just introduced (today? Or the last couple days). That's a sweet looking bass!

Also, it mentions oil necks; what oil is going on the back of the neck?

Thanks in advance!
Sean

I made the prototype for the new bass, but the production ones will be Custom Shop teambuilt. The back of the neck finish is a combination of sanding the wood to a very fine grit such as a 1000 grit sandpaper and coating it with a furniture oil.

Awesome bass, Jason. And many thanks for the reply!

Awesome! I'm from Toronto and have the Limited Geddy on order can't wait to get it!
Fender Custom basses are simply awesome basses, with the arrival of the Geddy Lee CS, I'll have 4 of them.

Congratulations! I think it's safe to say we are all eagerly looking forward to your report!

I have a FCS Geddy on order too. Too bad about the delay huh? When it finally arives, it's gonna be awesome

Awesome bass, Jason. And many thanks for the reply!

+1. Great thread!


And as for "real" vs "fake" wear.... WHO CARES? All that matters is the end result. I've seen "real" wear that looks downright awful, and "fake" wear that looks fantastic.... such as the wear on the Surf Green bass.

I regret finding this thread.

I shouldn't have traded my Geddy...AUGHHHH WHYYYY???

My first ever Rush concert was in Vancouver! Soundwise was kind of muddly, but thank God for earplugs. Made everything clearer.
