I love that sound! Thanks for posting!

Yes it does! , IO520`s music! ...or 550s? 😉

Looks Great! Who did the install, How much did it cost and is it integrated into your 530?

nice bird

What do you normally cruise at and fuel burn? Thinking about a d or e 55 baron

My Amplification history. Behringer BXL3000 - my first gigging amp, got the job done. Carlsbro 150watt Bassbomber - complete crap. Hartke A100 , 100 watt combo - great little amp, lots of power, great E.Q Trace Elliot GP7SM 200 Power Amp and 15" Cab (400 watts peak) - IM INLOVE !!!! ;)

@636117 Wow...that was pretty 'dickish' of a comment.

@unusualmuse I watched interviews he switched between a lot

@BassistCrom Luckily the only Hartke item here is the cabinet. I'll have to post another vid with the Marshall head hooked up.

@unusualmuse I'm sure that's debatable...!!! Yes, more of the albums from about the Permanent Waves album onward saw the increased use of the Jazz, but not entirely. The Ric was still used extensively even throughout the Signals album...and the only non-Ric base on that album was the Steinberger.

Rickenbaker 4003 Kick Ass but Hartke Sucks !!! ASHDOWN FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another aspect of Geddy's tone is... he didn't record with a Ric! While he did play the Ric live, in the studio he almost exclusively used his trusty Fender Jazz.

Listen to the actual song.

stlfyguy. Ha haaa. Nice reply from someone who actually DOES have the guts to post a vid of themselves. Don't let 636117 phase you, he probably has a tiny willy and lost all his money on the horses today. ps. Nice genuine Ric sound, I think he must have bought one of those cheap copies, and didn't notice the name on it, 'Baconrasher'. (Ya can't educate pork either), LOL

Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see you play yours. We're all waiting...

if this is the sound you want, go for it. luckily, my Ric doesn't sound anywhere near that bad.

H3500 is a great head. I own a H5500 model which is just the same as the H3500 it's only more powerfull (H5500). Great head, great sound, excellent price. I recommend it. It's main plus is that it has a tube preamp aswell. Can come in really handy, as it can produce a really warm sound.

Actually, I don't know. You're looking at a Hartke VX3500 combo that isn't a combo anymore! The Hartke amplifier was removed by the previous owner, leaving it just a 4x10 cab. A two space head fits nicely. For the vid I used a Trace Elliot GP7SM head--but that's on top of the cab. I have a Marshall 3520 bass head actually in the cab, but it's not in use for the video.

are Hartke amps good? im thinking to got a 300watt cab and a 250watt head both from Hartke

Yeah, he uses a BadAss bridge for the increased sustain. The pickups I believe are stock as they are part of the Rickenbacker sound. Crank the gain on the treble side and you're "clanking" with the best of them.

One aspect of "that tone" is that Geddy used a replacement bridge on his Ric you can see it clearly on the record sleeve photo. I also think he may have replaced the bridge pick-up with a Fender or fender style pick-up but I've not seen that documented.
