QUOTE (Rushchick10 @ Jul 8 2010, 06:31 PM) I remember reading somewhere that a couple of tours ago, the neck on his original Fender was broken or damaged beyond repair. The Fender Custom Shop replaced the neck.
I believe there is a chance that this is a "new" bass. I read on RIAB last year that Geddy bought a '74 (or something) Jazz at a music store in Virginia.
The neck on the '72 was replaced before the Snakes and Arrows tour; reasoning- it was worn out. I seriously doubt it would be changed out again this soon.
Also, this current bass has a design on the pickguard. Based on his style, I doubt Geddy would add it to his '72; a bass he's had in the original style all these years.
I thought a lot about this when I saw the Albuquerque show, and I'd bet that this is a "new", old bass.
