Great things about the USA Geddy Lee Jazz thread

[Dr. Cheese]

Saturday evening choir practice. It is good to remember how to play Gospel songs on a four.

there is a red USA geddy on ebay...

So build quality sounds like it's pretty consistent on these, then?

That’s the word. These basses are not mass produced even though they are not Custom Shop models.

Only the neck is from a US Geddy. The body is from a HWY1 .

What's the give away that the body isn't original?

It is in the description. Also, the bridge pickup is in the 60s position not the 70s as it would have been if original.

I hope the listing goes back up. As a die-hard Rush fan. I have to have it.

I'd want it just for the neck since the pickup spacing on it doesn't match his actual red bass.

Yeah wish they used the 60s spacing and pickups similar to his red one. That bass has such a unique low end tone to it.

Agreed. But the USA neck is the best part of these basses and to have one in the OG look would be the best thing ever.

Here's mine with the USA neck and MIM body with 60s spacing, Aguilar Hot Js.

Looks great! Love the white binding and pearl inlays.

These are some tone clips I made with my bass. I use Rotosounds. My tone is on 40-45%. My amp’s treble is 30%. This bass can sound fairly mellow.

Me too. I would love to have a red one. Red's my color and the flamed maple translucent is da'bomb.

I made an offer on the black Geddy USA he listed, but didn't come to terms.

I had GAS, so I ordered a black Geddy USA from Guitar Sewer. No one else seems to have one. I have some question whether the order will actually get filled.

there’s a place called guitar sewer?

My euphemism for Guitar Center.

I think it is weird they show them in stock on the web, processed my order, posted a tracking number, but UPS has not received it yet.

Any bets on whether it actually ships?
