Rush Bass Cover

[TubaRick]

I did a cover of Limelight by Rush and I thought I'd post it here for everyone to have a listen. It took me forever to dial in the bass tone with the 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 but I finally got it. I'm running the bass on Ric-O-Sound with the neck pickup going to a clean tone subwoofer and the bridge pickup going to a guitar rig. Leave some feedback here or on the video, I like to know what everyone thinks about the tone and/or my playing.

Nice job! Makes me want a Ric again! Great tone and playing!

This isolated track really helped me. I quickly learned I was not plying some of the parts correctly, especially when he sings "Living on a lighted stage..." or "Living in a fisheye lens...". It's a classic Geddy way to flip the bass line and to compliment the vocal. He's the master!

Thanks a bunch! I haven't listened to that isolated track yet. I learned mostly from the Exit Stage Left video because I thought that's when he sounded his best on that song.

Dayum that's some serious tone, altough I'd never use it myself I think it's quite cool.

 

[BillyRay]

That's one gnarly tone !

It took me a long time to dial in that tone, thank you!

I like the tone and the playing a lot.
The production could be improved though It's a bummer there's no video, and I think you went a little overboard with the EQ on the original track. It's difficult to groove when the drums sound so thin.
