Does anyone know how to get that "Geddy Lee sound" with a GK ultralight bass amp

[Presto2112]

Does anyone know how to get that geddy lee distortion sound like the sound on the RUSH IN RIO DVD or The snakes and arrows live DVD?

Thanks

You're not going to get that crunch with a GK ultralight without something outboard to give you some crunch.

I'd suggest a Sansamp VT bass or ParaDriver DI or BassDriver DI.

LIST OF EQUIPMENT I WILL BE USING ON THE VAPOR TRAILS TOUR

1 Fender Jazz Bass circa 1972 / 4 Fender Jazz Basses circa 1996
Avalon U5 Tube Direct box - for that "clean" sound / SansAmp R.B.I. Bass preamp by Tech 21 - for that "dirty" sound
Palmer-PDI-O5 Speaker Simulator - for that "big bottom" / Trace Elliot QUATRA-VR power amps
Roland XV-6090 Sampler / Synthesizers / Roland and Korg midi foot pedals / Roland D-50 Synthesizer / 3 Maytag dryers (coin operated) ... for that "clean, clean" feeling.
All this gear is superbly maintained by the inimitable Mr. Russ Ryan (bass department) and the mysterious Jack Secret a.k.a. Tony Geranios (keyboard department) with the complex array of synthesizer and drum programming, sequencing and sonic sampling organized by Jim Burgess of Saved By Technology ... (or is that Waiting for Technology? ... I get those 2 mixed up!) and Eric Bedard.
Well that's about it! ... Riveting stuff eh? ... I know, I know ... you're sad it's over ... I'm sad it's over ... but that's life folks!
See you ... G.L.
