Fender Geddy Lee Jazz vs Road Worn Jazz

[jim_at]

Lots of people singing the praises of the road worn at the moment, but how does the Geddy Lee jazz shape up compared to it?

Anyone tried both and what did you think of them?

Yep. Owned both.

The RW wins this one for me. The Japanese pickups on the Geddy are a little down on output for my liking & the neck is shaved too thin. Necks on Geddys are very prone to changing shape with the weather.

RW all the way - Even over the current American Standard.

Enjoy

Fenders vary so much between each individual bass that the best thing you could do is play them both.

I have a Geddy Lee and It has a very in your face funky 70's sound. I've tried the Road worn as well and it has a much warmer 60's sound. Both are very nice basses but I agree with the Prev post that the necks on Geddy Lees are a bit sensitive to temperature, which, if you like a low action, can result in the notes choking (which can be a pain in the butt if you're in the middle of a gig).
