Geddy's New Bass Rig?????

[VeganThump]

My friend is a stagehand and just sent me this picture he snapped of Geddy's "bass rig" BWAAAAAAAAAAAHT?

Yeah, Geddy is too cool to use normal bass gear. The left side lets him dial the midrange in to get just the right amount of "honk" in his tone and the popcorn side gets that warm, dry top end with buttery lows.

He has also been known to use chicken roasters in the past and before that, clothes dryers.

Not to mention the Kelvinator fridge (for cool tones?) and the vending machine (lots of tonal variety)...

Yeah, I tried that vending machine rig, but every now and then my notes would get stuck in the chute... and not just the bad ones, either!

Nice rig but I'll wait for a class D micro version to come out before i get one.

I like the full setup, with the brain in the liquid. Prog rock is supposed to be more intellectual, after all.

I heard that rig makes the notes really "POP"!

A creative call, naturally, but sometimes I do miss seeing the rigs.

The popcorn gives the right amount of crunch.
