Geddy played his Rotosound-strung Rickenbacker 4001 on “Freewill,” sending its neck pickup output to one set of amps, and its bridge pickup to another. “Typically we’d record the neck pickup direct and send the bridge pickup to a miked cabinet, usually 15" Theil cabinets,” he says.
Engineer Paul Northfield would then blend the two signals, adding compression. “Paul loved this piece of gear called a Loft [probably a Loft 440 Line Delay/Phaser]. He’d put it on bass solo parts to create a stereo feel—to put the bass out to the edges [of the stereo field] and give it instant width.” |
