Troy is pretty good

I never tire of watching this. Such a fantastic performance. I can never get over Geddy ripping on this and singing, too. Hemispheres was my first Rush concert and still miss them live.Pure magic.

Who is the ONE “Orc” who downvoted this masterpiece of a video?🤔

As a bass player myself I have to say you're right hand technique is incredibly developed. I find myself watching that hand much more than the left.

Excellent job, my man! Geddy tears it up on this album. Circumstances is my favorite bass song, ever. I learned this album on drums when it came out. Geddy's playing at 12:25 just grooves and drives all over the damn place.

This is the Coup de Gras of bass songs and covers. So enjoyable for me to gain even more depth and aporeciation of this incredible song that I've cherished from the most formative years of my youth. Thank you!

Hey, you're welcome David! It''s my favorite Rush song. I\m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to watch it...it's not exactly a three minute thing....

I love that bassline during Alex’s first guitar solo!

"Now I am impressed"

The 1981 Rickenbacker 4001 in this video is my first Rickenbacker that I got brand new in October of 1981, purchased at Biasco Music in Chicago (long gone now) for the price of $649.88. The 1980 Burgandyglo 4001 in my other Hemispheres prelude video was bought on Ebay in 2003 and that was $810.00. Older 4001's like these, in great condition are going for anywhere from 1-2K on Ebay and elsewhere. Some early 1970's 4001's are even more. Thanks for watching!

Hot. Damn. Such a good cover. Loving that old skool tone with the 4001, also.

Holy shit man. Your level of musicianship is impressive. Rush = the greatest band of all time ;-)

Impressive....Most Impressive!

I learned this song by ear and memory so I do not have a transcription and it was recorded directly against the track so there is no isolated bass track. Sorry about that.

I wouldn't say the Badass bridge changes the tone as much as it might help with resonance and sustain. The Badass intonates more quickly and the individual saddle height adjustments are also an improvement over the original Ric bridge design. Back in 1981 there weren't a ton of aftermarket bridges to choose from and if the Badass was good enough for Geddy, then it was good enough for me. Thanks for watching.

Nice tone sir!!! keep rockin!!!

Dude, the tone on that bass is NAAAASTY!! Incredible!

Fantastic Job!

Brilliant, note perfect, and what a sound. Must have taken ages to learn that to that standard. Congratulations!!!.

You are a monster!!! Great Job....

Thanks!! I just picked up 2018 4003, Jetglo black and got the new fender stage 800 amp. The GK amps sound great and I may pick one up soon. Your setup is sweet, and you nailed Geddys playing. I’m impressed 👍😊

Just came across this on Talkbass. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that was just... I'm trying to think of a word but there is none to describe what I just watched. Congratulations.

Oh, HELL yes...From about 13:25 on, there is no other piece of music that instills a sense VICTORY that this, well...maybe the end of Flash Gordon, this is VERY well done.

Thank you very much Mark, for those kind words.

Excellent

great sound

Awesome! You'd make Geddy proud.

Thank you Mr. Dover! ;^) That is the result of using Zymol. Best polish I've ever used.

Wow, that was great! Just like Geddy!! :)

BRAVO!!!!!

4001, I've always enjoyed your presence on TB as well. Totally amazing performance. And tone, yes, tone, wow you nailed it. And that's simply the GK? Wow. Also, 7:03 to 7:07.

Dude, you kick ass. You need to do a cover of Xanadu off of "A Farewell to Kings."

Those are Acoustic model 106 cabs. They are 2X15's. I've sold one and use the other for rehearsals for my Soundgarden/Audioslave/Templeof the Dog tribute band called Super-Unknown. I now have two Mesa Powerhouse 212's. Thanks for watching!

As long as you’re having fun, then you’re skilful enough👌

@MrCONTROSTERZO The cabs I use with those amps are old Acoustic 106 (2X15) The sound you are hearing is the direct signal from the amps. So, I think you could get a similar tone with that 1001RB II since the 700RB II amps have the same tone sections. The only difference is the extra power that the 1001 has. Those cabs are used for live applications only. Thanks for watching!

great tone

@bellbrass Thanks for the compliments! The bass part keeps going at 13:09. It's just not as up front in the recording as I am on this one.

great!

That is a Badass I bridge that was installed in 1982. Easier to adjust intonation quicker and also for individual string height. In 1982 there were still few choices for replacement bridges and I didn't really like the orignal bridge so, since the Badass I was good enough for Geddy, it was good enough for me too.

They were really high when they made this album. They said so.

Old-school Geddy......

Yes, I am 4001 on the Talkbass forums.

I have seen and heard a lot of Geddy wannabees, copy cats and some that really try. As a music composer, player, stereophile and A Rush fan of 40yrs,xI can say this guy is good. He is fairly accurate in time, notes and intonation. A little strong but at least he doesn't colour it and add his own character as others do. He plays as it was intended. Very good job. 👍. R. I.

Low brass and percussion my favorite. I tinkered a bit w/ piano/keyboard/synth and strings but never really went far. I also repaired instrunents - Strings, wind, percussion, electronic, accoustic. I mixed 6 of 9 albums 4 a local band in the 80s. I was head soubd engineer 4 our, then, concert venue location. I did a few big groups. Then I shipped out on full time military duty. ( I was part-time prior). My hearing is very accute as is my timing. The Navy wanted me as a Sub Sonar Tech. I told them it was 2 noisy down there, I don't play well w/ others, I don't like 2 B confined and I like 2 fly. In a nutshell I'm a very meticulous engineering person. I disected things I am unfamiliar with, study and reassemble. I improve that which I am familiar. Music included. I choose music by it's mechanics. If I transpose it on paper and/or play it I probably like it. Except the crap they have out now done on a confuser. That is not a musician. We have time, intonation and knowledge. They don't. Again... Keep up the good work.👍

Comparing this with the other video with the burgundy 4001, it's almost like the other one sounded more 4001 ish. Does this 4001 have the cap bypass? Sounds like my 4003. Great job as always, love your covers man.

Hi, congratulations! Awesome playing, awesome sound! What about cabinet under those GK heads? Are they GK too? Can I get a similar sound with only one GK 1001 RB II head and a GK NEO 410 cabinet? (using a mono bass). Thanks a lot!

Proof positive perfect technique isn't required to sound and play great.

Hey man awesome cover how did you tune your moog pedals to sound like that?

Hey if you have a transcription or even isolated bass track of this for me to transcribe myself, I would love it and deeply appreciate it. Great job btw!

That looks like my old guitar. Focue makes it difficult to see. Badass II bridge? Schaller tuners? I lost that instrument many years ago (20+). That'd be cool if that was it, and in good hands too.

Just out of curiosity how much did your rickenbacker cost? I've been listening to Rush forever and really want a 4001.

Yes, both pickups are full up. I do EQ each pickup a bit to bring out the tones I want but they are both full up on the volume. I do, however, play (right hand) a bit more to the neck pickup at times because I think it sounds more punchy there. Good luck with your new 4003, Sean, and enjoy !! Hey, thanks for watching...

Hi, I was wondering as to how low your action on your Rickenbacker is? You seem to have a fairly aggressive touch on the strings, but I don't hear any fret buzz nor clank (when the string hits a fret upon attack). What's your secret?!

@66TJP

+2112gil No secret. I have fairly low action with some buzzing here and there. Maybe the "secret" is running the bass in stereo. The tone possibilities open up at that point. Rotosound 66's too.

Hey I just asked a very similar question on one of your other videos. I can't help but be very clackety against the very last fret no matter how I set up my 4001. It doesn't seem like a matter of easing up on the attack, since you and Geddy attack very hard. Are you saying you are able to cut out those clackety frequencies by running in stereo?

@66TJP

8 жыл бұрын

You know, I have played Rics that are "clacky" but for some reason, my 4001 doesn't have too much of that. Maybe running in stereo might reduce some of that but I'm not so sure. You will have a lot more options with the tone of each pickup when in stereo, especially if you have decent tone sections on your amps and for that reason alone I'd try it.
