USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass neck

[OldSkull75]

is there any other Fender Basses that use the same USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass neck? It's such a good comfortable neck. Does fender use it in anything else?

I wish! I played one for the first time this past weekend. Probably the most agreeable and maneuverable J neck I've come across (outside of a custom piece). Unfortunately, Fender's contemporary lineups keep moving toward thinner necks, it seems.

What's he difference then? It's a U shaped neck because of the binding? I remember trying one 70's reissue with a pronounced U neck and to me it was very uncomfortable.

AFAIK the US Geddy neck is specific to that model alone.

Maybe you can get one from stratosphere?

I think it's a Deep C that flattens out as it moves up. It's also bound and has a hand oiled finish. It's hands down the most comfortable Fender neck I've ever played. It's Custom Shop quality IMO.
I'm looking for the necks on EBAY. I might have to buy another Geddy Lee Bass.

A quick search showed about $1000 CAD for just the neck at stratosphere! Somebody on TB right now is debating dumping a USA geddy lee. I haven't tried one but can relate to how good the neck could be: I tried an elite P bass with a compound radius neck. It felt just unbelievable! Something to do with the compound radius. You ever try one?

I think I'll probably just save up and get another whole USA Geddy Lee Bass.
Not sure if I've played on a compound radius neck. I've mostly played American Standard P Basses and Jazz Basses. A few Rickenbackers in there too.

I paid $700 USD back in June from the Stratosphere but I haven't seen one on there since I got mine.

I have one at the moment. Looks like a thin layer of poly was applied to the skunk strip area and it has two hexagonal indents around two of the neck screw holes. The markings to me are very odd. Other than that no big time fret ware. Also have the pick guard and bridge for it. Anyone know what's with the indentations?
