@ox092 The Geddy feels much better to me. It's made in Japan instead of Mexico like the 70's reissue. The Japan one are made better in my opinion. We sale the Geddy for $909.99 with gig bag. You will need this coupon code to get that price online at nstuffmusic. Coupon Code: FENDER35 use this a checkout.
I HONESTLY don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings but many people feel this way......
Buying a musical instrument with someone's name on it is frankly childish. It's magical hero worshiping that is a corporate matchbook cover. And it will certainly LOOSE it's luster as the individual matures.
When it was time to buy my first "big boy" bass a few years back, it was either this one or a Music Man. I chose the Music Man but haven't enjoyed it - high action, difficult to fret, very boomy output despite amp or recording rig I connect it to, etc. Technically the MM is probably the superior instrument but I'm thinking I'd much prefer the Geddy. Thoughts on using this bass for new wave / indie stuff like Duran Duran, Killers, etc.?
hi im looking for a new jazz bass because right now i have a squire jazz bass and i really just dont like the sound and playabilty of it. i really like playing funky stuff like stevie wonder and the redhotchilipeppers, but i also like playing alot of alternitive like foo fighters or nirvana. what j bass would you recomend for an all around sound? i really just want a versatile bass that sounds good with all types of music
@eggnog1337 You might want to try a active bass. They have more control (separate bass, mid, treble control) which enables you to tailor the sound to different styles. Check out the Fender Deluxe Active Jazz.
@Exessis I, personally, love the sound of just the neck pickup on a jazz bass. I have one of the American 75 reissues, and the tone of that bass with the neck pickup being the dominate is just awesome. Especially when you biamp running one amp with overdrive and the other with just a plain dry signal. Now, I do like to run both my neck and bridge pickup full at times, but I really favor the sound the neck pickup puts out.
@iConverseMyLife A Jazz bass has a offset body were the P-Bass has your normal body shape. The Jazz has a thinner neck and has more mid and treble frequencies.
@NstuffMusic I think a jazz bass sounds scooped compared to a p bass. The jazz has a deeper low end and nice high and while the P bass just has a ton of mids
A few years ago I needed an upgraded bass for the band I was in. It came down to this bass or a Music Man Sterling. I went with the Music Man but I'm thinking I should have chosen the Geddy instead. I think this may be my next purchase. By the way, awesome playing, man!
how is the setup compared to the Fender 70's jazz bass? better?

Your tone needs to me more aggressive. The tone on all these basses ends up sounding the same.

@afrircans1970 Uh... what? I don't even care too much for Rush. I don't care for the name either. I care for the fact that it's an AWESOME bass.
