Nailed the tone. Master Effects recently released a pedal copy of the SC-40. Might have a go with it since originals don't exactly grow on trees at this point. You mentioned you used the direct out for more low end? Does the SC-40 not have enough in the context of a mono signal? Probably not a big deal when running a Ric in stereo I would imagine.
@kevinsheppard2312Ай бұрын
Great question! A couple years ago I emailed Terry Brown just to talk a little bit about what he remembered about recording Geddy’s bass. He recalls adding a DI signal for “low-end presence”. I’m not sure if that meant the neck pick up from the Rickenbacker, but the main point is that a little bit of low end gets lost between the speaker and the microphone. It’s just nice to have the raw direct signal. The amp itself has enough bottom! Also worth mentioning, Terry Brown said that he used the RCA BA-6A limiter on Ged’s bass while they were at Le Studio. As for microphones, he said they probably used 421s but I’m pretty sure Geddy was using electro voice RE-20 (onstage definitely) up until at least the signals tour where he was using a 421. Who knows, mics are important but at least for bass it’s not the end of the world. Ever since I got my SC-40s and started uploading videos, they’ve all disappeared. I’m happy that guy is making a clone. My only comment is that I’ve seen some people not plug it into a speaker and then complain that it doesn’t sound right lol. It doesn’t work like a sansamp. Looks like a great unit and I’m sure it sound probably just like the real thing, just use a speaker or impulse response lol!
@kevinsheppard2312Ай бұрын
And I should also add that if you do decide to use the distortion mod, it absolutely cuts a lot of the low end, but I’m pretty sure you can recover it by using the direct signal however I could be wrong. If I’m being honest, I don’t think Geddy ever used the mod with the Jazz bass. The internal clipping/distortion when you crank the gain sounds almost the exact same as the mod (same 1N914 diodes inside). All the distortion mod does is makes it distort sooner. Less headroom, I guess.

Justin Chancellor's made those wal bass popular again. I was surprised Geddy went away from that bass.

lol good question! I had it brought to a trusted luthier however what he did was rewire the internal harness to send the signal out of a TRS output. I didn’t drill a new hole (more on that in a bit). So I run a stereo cord from the Rick to a custom splitter box which is pretty standard however the way this splitter box is wired allows me to have the pickups combined into one mono signal again if I only use one (of 2) outputs on the box. That being said if I used a normal cord and plugged my Rick into an amp, only the bridge would output. If I want to treat it as mono, it’s an extra step but I don’t mind. I tried my best to explain it, but it’s even hard to explain in person. It’s ultimately simple though lol! Let me know if you want more info and I can send some pictures of the splitter box inside.

So there are three iterations of the SC-40 however their circuits are very similar and they practically sound the same. The blue one in the video is the first generation SC-40 that Geddy got in 1978. In the early 80s, they came out with an SC-40 that aesthetically is a blend of the two you see in my video (you can see them in the exit stage left videos). And in the mid 80s I believe is when the black on was released.

For the ESL tour my understanding based on pictures and interviews is that he kept his 70s blue face SC-40s for his Rickenbacker setup however since he started playing the jazz bass live, he bought what would be the current version of of the SC-40 at the time. You are right, he only ran his jazz in mono. He said in an interview that his bass tech would just re-route his patch cord to a different preamp instead of tweaking the EQ. It also looks like he had a spare SC-40 as well around the time. You will see in pictures that it is never tuned on.

After listening to this song for 47 years when it first came out, I had no idea that Paul Griffin was doing all that scat singing in the background. You can only hear a snippet or two the final mix, and I never paid much attention to it or who did it until I recently heard it was him.
That's awesome!
Once you hear it isolated it's so much easier to hear in the full song. Any time I'm playing this in the car with friends I'm one of the only ones able to sing that part
Amazing! The bass lines in the album are awesome, keep it up!
Thanks!
How did you get this track!?
This is taken from the Center channel of the Signals 5.1 surround sound remix! If you can obtain the surround sound audio files, you can use software to split the channels.
I don’t understand. I see two single space rack mounted units labeled “SC-40” but they are totally different. Do you own two different versions of the SC-40 or is that one unit??
So there are three iterations of the SC-40 however their circuits are very similar and they practically sound the same. The blue one in the video is the first generation SC-40 that Geddy got in 1978. In the early 80s, they came out with an SC-40 that aesthetically is a blend of the two you see in my video (you can see them in the exit stage left videos). And in the mid 80s I believe is when the black on was released. Here are some links the images of the respective units. reverb.com/item/2705701-vintage-ashly-sc-40-instrument-preamp bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=273582&sid=bc2f5d03bc363d42b3bcc6c7f4b7a5b3 reverb.com/ca/item/2170434-ashly-sc-40-instrument-preamp-with-parametric-equalizer-eq-signal-processor-sc40
@@kevinsheppard2312 awesome! So Geddy updated / upgraded his Ashley's during this period? Also, as you know he ran his Rick stereo, so essentially bi-amping the neck and bridge pickups separately. But i'm pretty sure he did NOT re-wire the Jazz stereo. I always wondered how he ran the Jazz in his bi-amp'ed set up. Do you know??
@@scottburell8261 Good question! For the ESL tour my understanding based on pictures and interviews is that he kept his 70s blue face SC-40s for his Rickenbacker setup however since he started playing the jazz bass live, he bought what would be the current version of of the SC-40 at the time. You are right, he only ran his jazz in mono. He said in an interview that his bass tech would just re-route his patch cord to a different preamp instead of tweaking the EQ. It also looks like he had a spare SC-40 as well around the time. You will see in pictures that it is never tuned on.
Wow this really sounds like the Jazz to me. A B this with Moving Pictures and it’s right there!
This is awesome! Can you do this to any song and do you take request?!
I can only spread what’s been made available but on the off chance that it’s released, what would you want to hear?
@@kevinsheppard2312 awesome! Maybe some bring me the horizon bass? And more Nickelback bass? Love the Heavier Nickelback stuff for sure. And maybe Pantera bass or guitar?
@@AndrewCruzmusic unfortunately I don’t have access to Horizon however I could flip you over some stems to San Quentin if you wanted.
@@kevinsheppard2312that would be awesome!
The opening riff is one of my all time brain worms. Expertly played!
Thank you!
David makes the bass sound like actual PIGS omg this is amazing
Fr
Sounds like Panteraaaasss❤
rex and mike both use spector basses
Maybe an accomplished bass player could learn and play this, but now add in the singing and the Taurus pedals.......no way!!!!!!!!
Geddys skills are amazing bass and moog pedels and vocals all timed exactly right with Alex and Neil
That pre chorus sounds 100% like muted picking. I know he has said in interviews that he’s never played with a pick, but this seems like Exhibit A that he has (and along with the intro to Jacob’s Ladder).
I'm open to that idea as well.
SC-40 for the win 🏆
Great video! Deserves more views.
Can you do Witchhunt too?
I’d very much like to but currently away from my amps. One day I will.
Probably my favorite song from Moving Pictures.
How did you manage to isolate the tracks?
I believe I took this from either the Center or left and right channel of the 5.1 surround sound remix of signals. One of them!
Never realized there were so many ghost notes. Superb.
How does he do it and sing over the top of his insane playing? Ged is a musical freak of nature!
What a great kick sound. Where do you get an isolated track like this?
Agree 100% I love the sustain the kick has. The games like Guitar Hero and Rockband are comprised of the original multitracks so people have been able to go in and extract them. If you are interested, I can link you up to where I got them.
@@kevinsheppard2312 I'd really appreciate that!
@@JoshWannamaker Here you go: songstems.net/search?q=Nickelback Enjoy!
Not him.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqhkxJOEc6XFdLg.htmlsi=UY9LIElUcBPESw4T Totally isn’t.
I was skeptical too. Put it up against the original, and it's him for sure. This is probably the totally dry direct signal, and no editing yet since he trails off on the wrong lick towards the end.
@@Gleedsville Thanks for your comment. It’s literally from the official multi tracks which I have posted on my channel. Cheers.
This is 100% Chuck Rainey. Any Chuck Rainey scholar would know that. There are nuances in this track that are not possible to reproduce. Chuck could not have even played it exactly this way again. It is not a clean bass line at all, which is partly why it breathes and bounces like crazy. Soloed, it is not amazing. In the mix...brilliant. 100% Chuck.
You can love em or hate em but their instruments sound on point
❤ your channel/user icon. Counterparts remains a favorite! I've shared this many times in my Rush videos.
Happy you appreciate it:)
Where can i find the multitrack version ?

Ignore the Beatles. It’s the website that counts.
