Geddy's new bass???

[Relayer71]

My first rush concert in september! I'm so excited! I haven't gone to any before because I'm a youngun.

Sweet!

I've been a huge fan since 1987 and have STILL not seen them live!!!! I always seem to miss out on when they come to NYC (not that I don't go to shows, have seen Sonic Youth like 20 times at least!).

But Exit Stage Left is my favorite concert film of all time! (The CD version sounds pretty tame/sterile though but the DVD rocks!)

If you look in the video, behind alex's oldschool radios (which his amps are enclosed in), you can see geddy's orange cabs if you look under and behind them.

'Saratoga performing arts center(SPAC) is a great venue and it will be a great show for sure.'


I am driving down from Montreal. Anyone know how many hours drive it is from say...Plattsburgh NY?

1.5 to 2 hrs depending on traffic.
I thought it was strange the guys were missing Montreal this tour.

Thanks alot. Yeah it sucks they missed Montreal. They play Quebec City but it's outdoors...no seats so I figured SPAC show was a better bet...... Oh well 3 hour drive is a small price to pay to see Rush.

I'm a huge Rush fan, and I think the Geddy model is over priced, 12 years ago it was like $650 in Musicians Friend, now its over $1000.

I'm pretty sure they were $699 in late 2006, so that's a pretty sharp increase over a short period. Over the course of 12 years, that increase would be more understandable--that's close to the rate of inflation.

Hahaha, I love Geddy's shirt.

Am I the only one who misses seeing Geddy with a WAL bass??

Im so over Fender and their overpriced instruments

And Wal's aren't overpriced?

Very good point. Let me rephrase:

Playing through an amp and cab again really does wonders for his tone. Camera Eye was the highlight of the show for me.

An amp and cabs???/ Halleluiah!

Thats made my day!

I saw them in Birmingham a few years ago and hated his sound through the PA

 

[number11]

Not really mate no.
I'm perverse, I loved his Steinberger!

BUt I don't buy all that stuff about him using the jazz so much in the studio, except for Moving Pictures

I can hear the Rick on a lot more of the early stuff, and on Power Windows, the Berger is very present, even though its a Wal in teh vids.

Geddy will always be intertwined with the Rick for me

When I think Geddy, I think Rickenbacker.

+1

They should call them GeddenMaccas.

In the youtube video posted above. Behind alex's Hughes & Kettner jukebox looking amps, at the bottom. You can see behind them, and if you look closely, you'll see the orange cabs.

there are outdoor seats at SPAC too(as well as indoor),its an open air ampitheatre so if you have "lawn seats" be prepared for any foul weather that may happen...BTW the drive down I-87 is very scenic road that goes thru the Adirondack mountains,so enjoy the ride and the show

The Geddy IS rediculously priced. I had planeed to get one around 3 years ago when it was only $700 and it quickly rose to $1000+.
