Geddy Lee (Rush) Current Bass Rig (2025–2026 Tour Era)

Estimated build cost: ~$9,515 (based on current listings)

Rock Rush Geddy Lee

Geddy Lee’s bass tone is one of the most recognizable in rock: punchy, articulate, melodic, and often blending seamlessly with keyboards and synths. For the upcoming 2026 Rush tour, he continues using a refined, high-headroom setup centered around his signature Fender Jazz Bass and Tech 21 SansAmp, while still rotating classic instruments from his vast collection.

Synths & MIDI Controllers

While Geddy Lee is famous for his complex keyboard and synth layers that defined Rush’s progressive sound, on the current 2026 tour much of the heavy synth/keyboard work is handled by his longtime keyboardist Loren Gold and the crew. Geddy still triggers key classic Rush sounds live for authenticity.
