You don't want to do that. Trust me.
that's awesome. rush fanclub? i haven't seen any new swag in a while, guess i gotta go hunting.
When I was 14 or 15 or whatever I saw them on the Hemispheres tour. Fricking awesome and still remember the double necks. That was back in the flowing robe days. I also saw them on the Permanent Waves tour and I am pretty sure they were still using the double necks.
FYI back in the day Rush had a reputation for being a loud band. The Hemispheres show still stands out in my mind as to how loud it was. Wowzers.
On one of those tours they actually OPENED the show with 2112. Classic and ballsy.

That was the Permanent Waves tour.
Get the St. Louis recording, you'll thank me later.
You know you went to one epic-ass show if you remember it 30 some years later for how loud it was. Wish I would have been around to see some classic Rush!

Nice. Thanks.
I saw them in 2009 on the S & A tour. Loved the show. I know they are getting older, the music is more mature etc etc but man their early tours were just so raw and metallic. God I loved that about them. And I don't mean Metallica lol.
^^^^ No! Lego!
That is about the kewlest thing ever (besides the Rick 2-neck). I'd love to see a set of Fugazi minifigs.

Unrepresented
Something Borderline Offensive
My drummer who's a prog rock Rush nerd (I say that with love, of course) had that shot hanging up in his bedroom and I would GAS over Geddy's gear every. single. time. I'd walk by it.

Was my first time seeing them (Hemispheres) and they were everything I expected and wanted them to be.Also back in the day when there was no such thing as a suspended array. Just stacks and stacks of speakers on each side of the stage and a massive backline. I can't remember if I saw Metallica back in the day (after Cliff) but I sure the heck know I saw RUSH. A few times.
I figured that the Rush fans here would enjoy this thread. It was as much fun creating it as it is reading your responses. Thanks everyone, you've made this a lot of fun!
Of course there's a badass bridge on it. The 12-string has the stock bridge, but of course the bass gets a badass... of course.
I'll probably be shunned by saying this, but double-neck guitars/basses look ridiculously stupid.
Form follows function... Besides, what else are you going to play while you're stomping on bass pedals, banging out keyboard notes with the headstock while playing bass and guitar parts and singing all at the same time?
I bought it weeks back after first spotting it in a mall. I always buy a new wall calendar for my office, and when I saw this I knew 2010 would be the year of RUSH!
