"All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars"...
I have also heard if you play Side A, of 2112 backwards, it sounds eerily similar to Helter Skelter...
This is so a cool, I know I don't meet the criteria, but since we are all Rush geeks, I wanted to share how I got my username. It is derived from a section of La Villa Strangiato, part VII "Danforth and Pape", definitely not worthy of it's own thread or "Temple", maybe an intersection...
*edit* Maybe I should change it to Janforth2112

Geddy inspired gear?
I finally got my USA GL to rehearsal, last night. I played it louder than I do when I practice, and man did it sound great!
A couple of months ago, fished it out of the 'non-rotation bucket', finding it severely needing a truss rod adjustment... not sure why... temp controlled environment, in a case...?
Performed the adjustment, neck all nice and straight, with just a smidge of relief, and put it back in storage.
I checked it, yesterday, and was still straight as ever...
... nut loose, allowing the maple neck to assume control? Gremlins? Who knows?

Sounds like you fixed it, thats good. What were the symptoms, too much fret buzz?
Not at all... if I could have found a C-clamp strong enough to bring string to fret, I may have had a slight buzz...
.First time I experienced that with any of my basses... it definitely wasn't like that when I bought it.
I heard if you play Side A of 2112 backwards, it may ruin your stylus.
That is indeed weird... I have a number of the USA GL's and I've never had a neck issue... they've all been good quality and stable (they're kept mainly in climate-controlled environments). Probably my favorite neck of all the basses I've ever played.
Hopefully that's they end of your issues with her...
Me too... I love the bass! Maybe it's 'her' way of telling me she needs more attention...?
I was going to use 2thousand 1hundred and 12 men in kimono's and white slacks but it was too long a username so I went with Funky Ghost.
I had a set of T-2s as well, and I really liked the extended pedalboard, & also the pitch & mod wheels within reach of hand.
My first set of Taurus was a set of original T-1s that I purchased from Kip Winger just after he finished touring with Alice Cooper, but before he started Winger.
They were great sounding Taurus, but constantly needed tuning & cleaning of the pedal contacts.
The T-3 is hands-down my favorite - analog sound, digital control, preset storage and cool extras like modulation capabilities & a built-in arpeggiator.
Geddy inspired gear. I also had Moog Taurus 1 pedals, sold years ago.

I just asked Mrs. Santa for Geddy's Big Beautiful Book of Bass for Christmas.
I hereby nominate it for the Official Coffee Table Book for the Brethren of The Temple of 2112.

Current release date... 12/18/18... I think he's doing a book signing in New Jersey, on that date, as well...
... hint: tell Mrs. Santa, Amazon probably has the lowest pre-order price... just looking out for my Steampunk Elves... Happy Thanksgiving, SD!
