I was thinking a similar thing a few weeks ago while I was listening to some Jack Bruce songs.... I could hear where Geddy got some of his style and tone... Thanks for watching.
One of the craziest songs to play on bass. Excellent playing! I've tried so many times and can't ever get it 100%. I bet even geddy couldn't either. Lol such a badass song though. Only Rush would come up with a song like this.
Thanks! I was at my Mom's house one day last year and saw those two bunnies in her flower garden and that gave me an idea.... Easier than finding a giant, inflatable rabbit.... The VHS tape I record on helps with that outdated, old school video quality....
@@66TJP You’re saying you couldn’t get the giant inflatable rabbit? Next you’re gonna tell me you can’t get a whole string ensemble for Clockwork Angels covers.
Love it! Punchy as a boxer. Force Ten seems like a natural next choice? If you wanna lower the song track volume even more I wouldn't mind one bit. Since you put so much effort into getting these right, they're a great resource for inspiring bassists to learn by.
I think Geddy's '77 4001 sounds every bit as good as Chris Squire's RM1999. Apples and oranges in a way but that's one good apple and one good orange...
@@66TJP that's a good way to put it. If forced to choose, I'd have to pick the 4001. Squire's toaster/horseshoe tone was awesome, but something about how deep and wide and monstrous Geddy's Ric sounded (especially on the ESL video) impacted me in a way no other tone has.
Sold my Mk 1 'Geddy model' back in 2010. Tried to convince the guy to sell it back a few times, but no deal. Yours sounds fantastic, and the playing is spot on.
Look, I get it... "the best Rush album is 2112/Moving Pictures, but my personal favorite is INSERT ONE OF THE THREE IN-BETWEEN." I've been to all the meetings, and I've drank all the kool-aid, too... AND this song still slaps (in no small part to this bass line). And you nailed it! Tone, technique, feel... well done!
Amazing playing, thanks for sharing. I know requests are presumptuous but IF one day you could cover High Water from HYF I would love to see how Glee did that :- All the best, stay safe.
I use an old (15 yrs) Cannon mini DV ZR 200 camcorder.just for the camera and send that into a VHS recorder along with the mixed audio. The lights are just colored bulbs I grab at hardware stores. I guess some of these vids do look a bit like those 90's instructional vids....I don't know how much those cost to produce but I'd imagine I could have done those for next to nothing with the stuff I use.
@@66TJP thanks... I just got my new Wal so I'm still learning it's quirks.. and I'm not remotely as talented as you are, so I'm interested in your take on Pick Attack... useful for "in the mix"? or just as a solo tone?
@@Sams911 I haven't changed the inner settings in the bass. It is the same as it arrived. Whatever it was set to at the factory is what it still is My pick attack is in my fingers.
@@66TJP got it.. so you never pull the volume knob.. I like pick attack on the tone solo, but I feel it's got too much high for a band mix.. Thanks for your thoughts.
He got rid of ‘the Berger’ a while back - unfortunately. But I could totally go for between the wheels - such an emotional song (mood lifter) that would sound great on the Wal...but so would DEW and fear part 1. Dying to see how he would make Red Sector A, though. 66 is brilliant!
@@davidames8980 Gracias por su respuesta, si Between the Weels es un tema muy original, una interpretación distinta, Sector Rojo otro tema muy bueno, como todo en Rush, cada uno lo vive acompañando las circunstancias de la Vida. Un saludo David
I do have plans for some Grace Under Pressure stuff... just don't know what bass to use yet... I had to, well, maybe I really didn't need to, but I did... sell that Steinberger bass back in 2004, but it is what it is.. I miss that bass.... Sounded EXACTLY the same as Ged's. Anyways...even the Ric sounds pretty cool on some Grace tracks and the Wal... well you know.. but I might go with the Jazz bass because I love that ballsy tone on top of the Grace tracks... we'll see.... I have a couple vids ahead of that material first but I WILL be getting to Grace Under Pressure material in the not too distant future. If it takes till' June, and if it tracks nicely, maybe my new Jazz Bass I have been working on for over a year now will be finally finished..... so maybe on that one...... Stay tuned.........and thanks for watching..
@@66TJP Perdon por el idioma, muchas Gracias por su respuesta, no soy experto en el Bajo, pero creo que si los temas de Grace Under Pressure tuvieran un poco más de preponderancia al Bajo o sea que se escuche con más nitidez se lograría una muy buena versión No soy de escribir a todo lo que veo por TH-cam, pero me encanta su versiones y las he reemplazado a las originales jajaj. Muchas Gracias disfruto mucho su música. Gabriel Guzmán de Argentina
Lovely playing as usual Tom. Just got my Mk1 back after a long absence - may I ask what your settings are? Would love to cop Geddy's tone & you've nailed it!
Hello Marc and thanks for watching.. I run full up on the bass and favor the bridge pickup just a tad... the push pull pots are not used. I'm using Rotosound RS66LD rounds as well.
Thanks Tom, great help! Interesting to find out that you’re getting the nice Wal “quack” without using the pick boost function. Looking forward to trying out your settings. Keep ‘em coming please!
I just have one camera and it doesn't have a good wide type of shot, like a bigger view of my small room. For me to get most of my room in the shot, I need to either go way up on a tripod or put the camera on the floor in one corner. (and that low angle is coming up soon...) Setting up the shot is sometimes a few hours process with my "hi-tech" gear...LOL! Thanks for watching.
So this is thumbs up for so many reasons however, around 3:35, there is a slight tempo issue and articulation issue. Geddy would not be using left hand and right hand to do those runs but plucking every note from the right hand to get that stunning articulation that is his signature. Watch the fingers playing right hand only here at mark: 4:35 th-cam.com/video/J41AXq3-Mc0/w-d-xo.html
Hmmmm.... what I saw at the time you posted in that video link was Alex Lifeson playing harmonics and the delay seems to be set a tad too fast, messing with the tempo in that section.... I have yet to see any footage showing exactly what Geddy does in that solo section and even though I saw them many times, I don't remember exactly what Geddy does there..... oops! I try to replicate what my ears hear as best as I can.

A show of hands !!!
WOW! Closest tone, look and playing I’ve seen to Geddy! Absolute perfection!!! (And I’m pretty good myself, but now I’m humbled!).
Dude, you always NAIL Geddy's tone and playing. BRAVO !!!
Thanks Michael. I try to get as close to the sound as possible.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
*bravado
Man, you nailed this! Presto doesn't get enough love. I covered the entire album on my drum channel last summer, super fun to ply!
All hail the Wal
Outstanding performance and sound!!!!!!
Thanks !
Difficult Difficult Difficult to duplicate . You aced it 👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
Goosebumps !!!!! Absolutely incredible like every other video !!!!! 🙌🙏
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
So excited when I saw this come up in my feed -- you, my friend, are the greatest -- and so is the black Wal!
Songs like this and YYZ, you can really hear Geddy's Jack Bruce and Entwistle influences.
Great job!

Who is the idiots that post thumbs down, absolutely amazing playing, can’t imagine the work that has gone into playing so well, thank you !

Mmm, that Wal.
My favorite of Ged's
@@CTTH100 I think it would make my top 5 list, in terms of his basses. My #1 would have to be the 1977 4001.

Wal bass... espetacular, maravilhoso. Tu és ótimo !!!
Awesome. Geddy also sings and plays pedals and synth while doing this too. Crazy
I love the sound of This Bass, My God!
It REALLY sounds great in headphones when I'm playing.
Thanks, Andres.
@@66TJP It's flippin' incredible!
So much soul in this. He definitely channels Ged.

Sorry to hear that you let her get away......
Thanks for taking the time to watch, Ben.
I like the way you come out of nowhere and walk into the video playing the bass like a boss.
II couldn't think of anything else to do and it was easier than popping out of a hat ;^)
OMG,PERFECTO Sir!!! Have always LOVED the sound of his Bass on this song!!! Great job on the cover! :-)
Outstanding!
Holy Shit Dude, that was Beautiful, this tune tricks me up. I am going to be studying this Video. FANTASTIC !!!!!!
Thanks for the compliments , Joe.
I do apologize for the bad ending. I really didn't think much about the fadeout....
Anyways, thanks again.
@@66TJP yes... Force Ten!!!
best version I've seen outside the real deal
Thanks very much for your compliment and for visiting !
Amazing execution!! Nailed it 👏👏👍
Thank you, Mike.
Amazing how behind the beat you are. Didn't know Geddy was doing that.

Excelente 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Seems alot of Geddys tone is his right hand and you have it sir
He drives right through the strings and that is a big part of his sound. He crushes them.
Were you using a Hi8 cam or something? You got the mid-90s guitar instructional VHS vibe nailed here.
I use an old (15 yrs) Cannon mini DV ZR 200 camcorder.just for the camera and send that into a VHS recorder along with the mixed audio. The lights are just colored bulbs I grab at hardware stores.

Great sound. I wish that I could see the fretboard a little better.
Ti ringrazio per sta suonando il basso … eccellente, maravigliò. Posso pagarti suonare qualche musica?
how do you set your knobs on the Wal? Pulled / pushed? etc.. .
Full up, not pulled.
And, for this vid, I favored the bridge pickup just a bit...
