@@LeslieField-k1u Appreciate it!

@@kevinsheppard2312 These are fun to sing along to (other than the toughest parts) or try harmonies. Not going anywhere near the end of Cygnus vocals tho lol

@ haha. Yeah that’s crazy at the end

@@kevinsheppard2312 And then you think of how many times he had to repeat that live

@ truly talented!!

@@patrickmurphy3331 Agreed 💯%

I remember that interview and that had me convinced it was the rick, but with all due respect, Ged has not had the best recollection as it was rightfully a long time ago. For example he says now that the first time he used the Jazz was Tom Sawyer but in a 1980 interview he said he used the jazz on about half of Permanent waves. You can check on my channel, I just uploaded a bass focused version of The Spirit of Radio and it speaks for itself! Not to mention in his book he also adds that he used the Jazz on Vital signs (I nailed that tone in my MP Jazz Bass tone video). The next occurrences would be Digital Man and New World Man but I've never seen him mention that. Jus my two cents, Cheers!

@@kevinsheppard2312 Thanks for the info, Geddy keeps us guessing! And add to it during those albums, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals he used the Rickenbacker in concert! I went to all of those concerts during those years and I don't recall the Jazz bass being used, he may have at some point but I don't remember that being the case. It's interesting how his tone from those albums went away for next 3 albums beginning with Grace Under Pressure, with the switch to the Steinberger and Terry Brown was no longer producing, his tone was very thin and flat, his style was there but the tone went away. People often say tone is in the fingers, and that's true, but not 100% as evidence from the Steinberger days.

@@MooreBass That’s awesome you saw them! I like to say that your character, style and identity as a musician is in the fingers but there’s so many parts that shape the ‘tone’. Compare Caress of steel to Roll the Bones haha. Very different sound but very busy playing!

@@Sheehy223 no problem, man. If you have Instagram that could work. @kevin_shepppard

@@Sheehy223 With all due respect to them I don’t think they’ve ever played a rick haha

​@@kevinsheppard2312Certainly not. It seems Ricks are still pretty wildly misunderstood by the majority of bass players. Two of these big bass channel guys demoed Rick-O-Sound by plugging two mono jacks into both inputs of a Rick at the same time and apparently didn't notice that the same signal was going to both of their amps. I blame Billy Sheehan for that 😂

@@Sheehy223 That’s embarrassing 🤣. Exactly. Especially what kinda drives me nuts is when people (successfully) split the pickups and then claim it’s some completely different sound cause it’s “stereo”. Not exactly, you just have the same two pickups but not mixed. And then they all have the urge to pan it left and right. Who am I to judge if they are having fun though!

@ Also would you happen to remember the article you found with Ged explaining the Jazz pickup output issue and the neck pick compensation? I remember you said it was near the 2000s but I'd love to see that!

@@kevinsheppard2312 Found it, the direct quote is, "The only bass I played was my 72 Fender Jazz. It has a maple neck, a Badass bridge, and the original pickups, which I keep full-on, occasionally backing off the neck pickup a bit", I'll try to attach the link in another comment, KZbin keeps taking down my comments with links.

@@rattan3793 💯

I’ve long felt EN, TSOR and DS were the Jazz. I see we agree. Sounds like the bridge pickup was a little more present in this recording than later ones to me? Seems to have a bit more of that bridge pickup bite to me.

@ Sheeshy223 who also commented on this video said he found an article where Geddy explained how he always had a weak bridge pickup. So apparently if he wanted a traditional jazz sound he would lower the volume of the neck pickup to achieve that scooped sound. That being said, the tone on MP would be both pickups 100% with the neck naturally overpowering the bridge. In my MP tone video I was able to get that effect! I also found a rare photo from le studio during the PW sessions where you can see the jazz in the corner and one of the pickups is rolled off a bit confirming the idea!

@@kevinsheppard2312 I feel like I’ve long known about the bridge pickup being weak. But that was purely internet heresy. Sounds like it was probably holding some truth. The sound speaks for itself though. Especially on MP. That’s neck all the way. That’s really cool, I’d honestly love to see that photo somehow!

@ I’ll just upload it as an unlisted KZbin tomorrow!

@@kevinsheppard2312 sounds great! On the topic of this era of tones, after I pick it up tomorrow, I’ll have scored a 4th Ashly SC40 to fully duplicate the live rig.

@ Here’s the full drum mix kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHndYXZ3fdWSrcksi=kSeLWzC1wk_musW7

For Joe's Garage they rented a different Gretsch kit with a 22" bass drum and modified Slingerland radioking snare from thr legendary Paul Jamieson. But I agree the yellow set is the best ever.
