Hey Dean Bass friends, I thought you'd want to hear my Dean Jeff Berlin in action. This is a redo of a bassline I recorded 26 years ago, so it's me, and me again, but this time I played it on the Euro spec JB instead of my late '80s Carvin. The vibe is kind of the Allan Holdsworth/Jeff Berlin...

Yeah, that head stock doesn't enough room for Jeff to sign correctly. That autograph there is all funky looking. Should look more like this: JEFF BERLIN Aneurythms CD MAJ Records ANE-80180 **SIGNED** | eBay

I have Jeff's autograph from my time at Player's School of Music - the one on the guitar might be fake, in silver sharpie, but it does look like his signature and someone would really have to do some research to find his autograph, practice doing it, then find a real dull silver sharpie to write...

Collectors - check this one out. Not the super nice Euro spec model, but still, it's got JB's autograph on it . . . Used Dean Jeff Berlin Electric Bass Guitar - Red | Reverb

One of my favorites. Way more technique going on with him than most people realize. I met him a couple of times and his sense of humor was quick and sharp. This one stings . . .

It's been a long time since my "newbie" days, that's for sure!

Keys are only MAJOR or MINOR, never one of the church modes. 2 Sharps is either D major or B minor, but lots of modern music freely ignores key signatures to impose more modern harmonic conventions. Just look at almost any song by The Beatles. Rush is just following their lead.

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it. I'm using a " Levy's Leathers M25-WAL 50's Style RnR Leather Strap,Walnut" I got from Amazon for about $30. It's not completely "period correct" - doesn't loop through, doesn't have a D-Ring, but it works. The bass likes to "push out" on the top side a...

I play a lot of musical theatre shows, and a 5 string is a must have. There's always at least one low C# they throw in there . . .

Here's a little Jeff Berlin for you, performed on my '92 Palaedium.

I have updated the video description and title to reflect this detail. Thanks for the comments.
