strings for yyz

[roarman1]

im trying to play yyz and my strings are broken does anyone know a good kind of string for the song yyz by rush?

[Thunder_Fingers]

eeeeh?

Geddy use Rotosound RS strings, 45 - 105 if thats what you are wondering about..

In other news;
You can play YYZ on any kind of strings you want

[lokolp]

Don't base your string you get off the song you play, base it off the sound you want.
But if you want the geddy sound use rotosound RS66 45-105. If you want a string that makes it easier to play you might want DR Hi-beams or sunbeams, IMO those are the best playing strings

I believe Geddy plays a light guage string.

[Thunder_Fingers]

He did use the Rotosound PSD (I think it was) in a light gauge around presto, but now hes apparently back on the RS66 45 - 105 strings. Think that happened when he went back to the Jazz Bass.

Throw some roundwounds on and play anything you like. YYZ would sound good, too.

Don't matter what string spacing you have or how much your bass weighs, either.

Jam it out!

didnt he use some sort of effect for YYZ?

it sounds like chorus or something... you coudl look into taht if you're interested in getting the tone from YYZ

I think they use reverb,I played the G**tar on it with reverb at the Sam Ash and it sounded right. Don't ask why i was playing the G**tar
