It’s one thing to hear an isolated Rush studio track played by Geddy Lee, but totally another to hear the raw live sound.<\/p>\n
Below is Rush playing The Spirit of Radio<\/em> live with Geddy’s bass isolated. You hear all the string buzzing, all the fret clacking, all finger dragging across the strings, all the string mashing, and so on. It’s all there where Geddy sounds like he’s banging on piano strings…<\/p>\n …and it’s absolutely glorious.<\/p>\n Looking to capture a 1970s power bass tone? See the Bartolini B-Axis<\/a> as it is based on the original 1970s Bartolini HI-A design. We also carry a very good selection of Jazz Bass pickups<\/a>.<\/p>\n Remember, even with the right pickups and the right tone, what matters is how you play. Listen to the track below, and if you want to try it out on your own bass, don’t be afraid to be “dirty” with your play style. These are not the smooth tones of Motown but rather the in-your-face sound of rock ‘n’ roll. Keep that in mind when learning your Geddy bass lines.<\/p>\n
