Did Geddy use very light strings on his Wal?

I know Geddy uses a 045-105 gauge now. Geddy's Wal tone, however, sounds like he was using much lighter strings. I seem to remember seeing Geddy in a Rotosound Funkmaster ad back in the 80's. Does anyone know?

thought he used .035-.85 Funkmasters

possibly .03-.90, I'm not 100% sure

Shouldn't you guys be discussing this alone in a corner at a party in the Beklee dorms?

yes he used the funkmasters - I think .30-.90.

He switched to a red wal on the roll the bones album/tour - not sure if he continued to use the FMs on that one as well....

now geddy does use the 45-105s but yes, you are right coronado3, he used the 90-90s.
