Truth.

Love the bass part during Alex's solo. Gotta be one of Geddy's most well-designed musical feats in my opinion.

In my opinion, you are the best bass player on KZread. I've been watching you play for years, and you truly inspired me to become a better bass player and have helped me understand the bass line to songs. You are an incredible, always on target with your playing, and it's truly fascinating. I'm so glad you are still active, and I'm looking forward to seeing you keep playing. Thank you for everything you've done on KZread, and I hope you keep it up.

Possibly my favorite bass Geddy has ever laid down. And as usual, you do this beautifully. When my wife and I first started getting to know each other, I would play this song in the car, and when Alex started his solo, I said to her "ok, try and pay attention to the bass line here, its crazy!" She feigned interest...haha

One of my all time favourite Rush songs. You play it so beautifully. It's been a few years since I've listened to this song, trying to pick up on the mysterious riff, I listened to a few but could not pick out just one. Can't wait to read where it is. Thanks for sharing and have a great weeks vacation. Cheers

Thanks Constantine. Actually, the mystery riff (or note as it was) turned out to be a figment of my ear-magination. It was at the 6:24 mark where I thought I heard a 3rd added to the riff, but after checking it against the isolated track, I found that it was not there. I like the way it sounds the way I played it though.

You know troy,you playing that Guild reminds me of another great bass player Kelly Groucutt of ELO who also I'm sure played a Guild and it sounded wonderful on the song "Showdown". no there's a great bass line.I bought Moving Pictures my first album of Rush when I was 12 years old, racing home on my bike I could not wait to listen to it,36 years later I still rate this song right up there amongst the best ever. Great job thanks.

I'm no expert, but I don't recall ever seeing him with a Guild...a Gibson and an Ovation, but not a Guild. I could be wrong though. I remember when Moving Pictures came out as well. I was already a new and rabid Rush fan having seen them on the Perm Waves tour (my very first concert experience). When MP came out, they played the album, in its entirety, on the radio a week or so before it was released. I remember dialing in our cheap Panasonic stereo, along with every other radio in the house, to the station to listen to it. It may have been one of the first Quad+ systems in the the world. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

@TJH3113

8 жыл бұрын

No, I haven't. It would be a pretty long video.

This is probably one of Rush's top 10 songs in their whole catalog. But, it's definitely a "forgotten" song among the other songs on the MP album. I thought Geddy got the tone on the MP album with his 4001 bass, but then I freaked out to learn he used a modified Jazz bass on most of the album. I always wanted to replicate the tone Geddy had on the MP album, but never could figure it out completely... It looks like you got the tone down exactly with your Guild bass. Did you use a compression effect? Great playing!... I don't think I've heard some of the notes between 4:05 - 4:15. Sometimes it's hard to hear all of the notes on the recorded version...

@TJH3113

8 жыл бұрын

I use a touch of a compression preset in Garageband but it's very subtle. Most of my EQ comes from the SansAmp Bass Driver pedal. It's my opinion that most of the "Geddy" tone comes from the way the bass is set up - with low action and more than a little fret buzz, clack, and grind.

This is one of Troy's vids I came now and then to watch back again. It's truly impressive. I wonder which criteria do you choose your bass on... I mean, why haven't you picked your Rickenbacker for this song?

Thanks. I have a video titled "How I Record My Videos", but don't go into terribly much detail.

If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them. You can ask by leaving a fresh comment on any video and I'll get back to you.
