NBD Sunburst Geddy Lee Jazz bass

I love my 03 Geddy so much that
I bought another one in sunburst. It’s a 2016 model MIM and man the quality is top notch. The action is low
And this bass growls like crazy.
I highly recommend these basses for anyone looking for a hot 70’s Jazz bass tone with a flatter neck.
It has a great slap tone too!

 

Thanks, you can go from Les to Geddy and everything in between. I also like the brightness of the pickups and the soloed neck pickup does a great grindy P bass like tone.

 

My signature looks kinda like his.
Well, my name is Gary Z

 

Does anyone know the difference in pickups? The 2016 seems to be brighter with a little more high mids but less low end.

 

Yeah the pickups. See my post about the pickups. The 2016 sounds more like an old Ric 4001 but retains the Jazz bass characteristics too. That's why Geddy liked the 72 Jazz bass so much.

 

The 2016 is a little bit thicker. It's barely noticeable.
