Rush Tom Sawyer Bass, Geddy Lee Fender Jazz, Ampeg

This is from the Fender Jazz bass, without any Sansamp, Ampeg SVT3 Pro. I have come, lately, to dislike the sansamp. For this one, I ran through an EBS compressor, but turned OFF the compression entirely, and just set the gain to halfway, plus used the EBS tube simulator. Again, there is no compression whatsoever. I prefer the Modulus bass over the Fender Jazz.. it's just smoother.. but after seeing numerous messages and getting "requests" for the Fender Jazz, here you go. Thanks.

ya, but is it an american jazz?

[blah114a]

no, it's a japanese bass, actually... the Geddy Lee Signature edition..

[bassforlife4]

really good (got the same bass) awesome bass right?

[blah114a]

I really cannot stand this bass, honestly.. but I played it here at people's request.. I keep this bass, now, for e flat stuff.. Fender charging $1200 for this bass new.. is just laughable.. it's maybe a $600 bass tops.. in my opinion.. $400.

@blah114a Bah...it's better of many american jazz basses. Can't really understand your opinion.

[blah114a]

@MauCivil it's a wellmade bass.. it's just insanely priced.. that's just one issue.. it's also very top-heavy.. it does not sit well for a 4/5 - hour night of covers.. for me anyway.. it's a great bass, yes.. but it retails for $1200.. that's insane for a Japanese bass.. I don't understand how Fender can be in business charging what they do.. for US or Japanese basses.. that's just me.

nothin like playing rush bass in your  underware.

The Geddy Lee isn't nessacerily picked for the sound. The sound can always be modified like here. I picked the GL because of the feel. That neck is freakin sweet.

@OmertaMercenary69 it is hand crafted in japan with american electronics. geddy wanted his bass priced within reach of the working musician. i own one and love it.  it took some work on the set-up, and living in northern indiana, it needs a bit of tweeking every time winter sets in. but it is as solid as any fender product i have owned.

I like the thin neck on the GL models but overall ,they sound like crap.
