Geddy Lee has used a 5-string bass on a bunch of songs, but usually never played it live. On most of the Counterparts album he used one, but he never used one live, he would just play certain parts an octave up or use Drop D tuning.

Actually, Fender has never released a 5-string Geddy Jazz Bass.

The original Geddy Bass was available only in black. The 3-tone sunburst models were introduced in 2009. The third "missing" color is of course the bing cherry red transparent finish over a flamed maple top. The cherry red Geddy FMT has never been officially released to the general public.
