Just by hearing the youtube clips, Geddy's bass sounds so much freakin better this tour. It acctualy sounds like a 'real' bass.
Does anybody realy think that 'spring on a stick' bass tone from Rio, R30 and S&A live compares to this???  |

Though I loved the RIO tone Geddy got too.

But something changed for sure.
His sound is very guttsy, more like Different Stages. |

But with all that stuff on stage It's impossible to see from the pictures I saw.
In any case I am happy. |

Using a washing machine for an amps is like Neil using a car seat for a bass drum. 
I want you guys to know there is a bootleg of the first show.
I don't want to shout it from the rooftops for fear of being 'that guy' pushing bootlegs.  |

He's using two heads and two cans AFAIK. I don't know hwy he'd switch to a real amp if he wasn't using that as part of what he gives FOH, but who knows? They're using in-ears, so maybe he wanted to hear the Orange in them instead of the sound of the SansAmp. I played Orange amps at NAMM in Nashville and they do sound good.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Michigan's U.P. | | While we are at it, I am trying to meet up with a few people from The Rush Forum tomorrow, why not anyone here that wants to meet as well. We are supposed to meet on the Right side of Jojo's at 6pm. Jojo's is just outside the venue in the Summerfest Grounds. http://www.summerfest.com/alt/news.cfm?id=315 http://www.summerfest.com/pdf/GroundsMap.pdf
There is always a stage nearby with a Rush tribute band but by Jojo's is the best place to prolly meet up. I will try and have a sign up or being held up. I do not know what it will say but look for Talk bass or The Rush Forum in some function and form.
Might be cool to put faces to names.
PS, the sign might be a t shirt with sharpie on it. I am unsure of the rules on signs there....
