The neck on this is different than the MIJ or MIM versions..much nicer (to me)
How is it different? The neck on the original Geddy that my son had was way too thin for my taste.
...I gave up a Thunderbird for a new MIA Geddy Lee jazz...this bass is incredible and I couldn't pass it up. What a neck on this....feels like a custom shop bass.
It's a bit thicker, not by much - perhaps more rounded feel to it. And it feels like you picked up an old 72 in a way by the rubbed down neck finish and feel they did with it.
I have to say that the neck on my MIA 60th. anniversary j bass is fantastic and the bass sounds great. There are some j basses that are winners, sounds like you got one!

.... Which is what Jazz Basses were aimed to do right from the start, though Geddy can turn any bass into a Ric!
