what kind of bass does geddy lee play
Rush equipment Geddy Lee's main bass is a black 1972 Fender Jazz Bass he bought from a pawn shop in Kalamazoo, Michigan for $200 (US$860 in 2017 dollars[1]). It was used to record the albums Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals, Counterparts, Test for Echo, Vapor Trails, Feedback, Snakes and Arrows, and Clockwork Angels. Since 1994, it has been Lee's main bass for live and studio work. Lee modified it with a Leo Quan BadAss II Bridge, and the original neck had to be replaced before the Snakes & Arrows Tour. In 1998, Fender began production on the Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Bass, modeled after his 1972 Jazz Bass. It is still in production, and sunburst was added as a color choice in 2009. In 2015, Fender released a revised USA model with several changes made to it, many of which reflected the changes Lee made to his own instrument. Another prominent instrument of Lee's is a black Rickenbacker 4001, which he used for live and studio work from 1975 to 1984. In 2007 and 2008, Lee used this bass for the song "A Passage to Bangkok" on the Snakes & Arrows Tour.
