Rush Tribute content

[nicopiano]

A friend of mine, who happens to be one of my bass mentor, had put together a Rush tribute show a few years ago. They are touring mainly the province of Quebec, Canada.

Before you criticize the vocals, please know that Mathieu is mainly a bass player (not a singer) and he is french canadian, with accent of course.

Rush isn't my favorite band, but I hope you will, like me, enjoy Mathieu's great live bass playing.

Wow, those guys are hot. I've been in many a Rush tribute but could never get someone to do the vocals. Certainly not me. Not without some Ralph Lauren underwear, anyways. Thanks for sharing, will keep an eye out for them.

Great band. Singer is not as bad as most.....tough to cover Geddy. He actually nails the non-screaming parts pretty well. Bass tone is amazing....did he collect every Geddy bass? Was that a Wal?? Nice!

 

[CGremlin]

I like that it looks like he's actually using period-correct basses - "The Big Money" on a Wal, for instance. Great interpretation of Geddy's tone as well.

 

[nicopiano]

I had the chance to try his Wal. Awesome instrument!

 

[hrodbert696]

Looks like an excellent tribute. I'm impressed!

 

[Baird6869]

Very impressive. I will look for them when I am in Quebec.

Yes, it's an authentic Wal, and yes he collect bass especially for this tribute.

WOW!! Thanks you guys for your good words! I appreciate it!
Yes, I try to be "historical" in my bass choice for the Tribute. The WAL is a new member of my collection... I discovered Rush with "A Show of hands" so it a Dream come tru for me. I Also use the Double neck bass-guitar in old rush songs for many rythm guitar parts (ex: 2112 solo, bytor's 2nd solo etc.)

Great stuff, Mathieu! Do you have an L2 for any "Grace Under Pressure" stuff you do?

/EDIT: Oh wait, you did "Red Sector A" in the video, didn't you...

Hey Mathieu, glad you're on TB now!

I had a L2 but didn't enjoy playing with it... So i take the wal from Grace under pressure to roll the bones... I personal think that jazz bass, rick And wal are the basses that represent every "bass tone era"
But my guitar player made a "Hentor Sportcatser"

Also.. The L2 was used in only one record...

The L2 was used in only one record.

And the GUP tour, too. I played an L2 at a music store back in the mid 80's, but I just didn't dig the feel of the neck at all. Maybe the Spirits feel a little better.

edit: bass playing/tone is excellent

Curiously, I enjoyed Mathieu's Rickenbacker bass tone more than the others, just like with Geddy....

This is awesome. That Wal sounds soooo good! If it were me the Jazz would be collecting dust

 

[nicopiano]

My favorite tone is also the Wal.
