Rush Didact Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 There are isolated bass tracks out there for all the MP songs, it shouldn't be hard to figure out which bass was used on what song. I'll have to check when I get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "Merely Players" is to be believed (hit or miss depending on the reference) Geddy used it for a few songs on Signals in the studio. As a sole reference, I'm not sure if I believe that.

Given that it did not seem to appear onstage until 1983, I wouldn't trust it. The black Steinberger L-2 appears to have been onstage from 1983-1986. The last appearance of a Steinberger was the white one in 1990 and that was used on at least 2 occasions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Didact Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I'm really surprised he was still playing a Steinberger up to 1990... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starscreamsrevenge Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Don't know if this is going to work, but for anyone curious about how the SHM-CD looks for the Signals remaster from Japan, here are a few photos I took yesterday :) Front Case with OBI https://flic.kr/p/2oGPfjP Back Case with OBI https://flic.kr/p/2oGRbHk Back Cover showing 2015 remastering credit https://flic.kr/p/2oGLc85 Full Booklet https://flic.kr/p/2oGPY9y Close-up Booklet showing 2015 remastering credit https://flic.kr/p/2oGLc8f CD Tray https://flic.kr/p/2oGLc7Z Interesting that they've virtually done a straight copy of the '97 Remasters case, even down to the three coloured hands tray!!! :) :) For anyone on the fence about getting this on import, it's MOST DEFINITELY worth it. Sean has dome another FANTASTIC job with the sound quality of this :) :) :) There's nuances I'm hearing for the first time on all of the songs, the layers seem much more defined and jump out at you more, honourable mentions for the Electric Violin work on "Loosing It", and the helicopter and rocket sounds on "Countdown". It definitely beats paying $230 to listen to it!!! Roll on the Grace Under Pressure remaster for next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in the Moving Pictures reissue liner notes. I don't have the Signals reissue so I can't say if he is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've been reading the 2015 Magee master was messed with on this release and it runs slightly faster. I'm mystified why this was done if that's true. So I'm hesitant at this moment.

Hi, Sorry for the delay on this, every time I think I'm set-up to receive notifications for the forum, it let's me down with not informing me of replies!! Better late than never I suppose! Signals is one of my favourite albums, so I'd know instinctively if the album was sped up slightly. To my ears, there's no speed change. Even if there is a slight increase for arguments sake, what you're gaining from this new Magee remaster far outweighs any negatives or trepidations you might have in my honest opinion. I A/B'd the Magee master to Bob Ludwig's '97 master, and it was night and day in my opinion. Everything just seems more "laid back" and flat in Bob Ludwig's master when you're comparing them. Magee's master is definitely worth your money It is still available on CDJapan fortunately! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just need a $10 discount coupon from CD Japan or something as incentive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemari77 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hope I’m not breaking any rules… But the Signals Super Deluxe is currently $112 on Amazon… I initially passed on the set (for the same reasons as others have mentioned) but I couldn’t resist this deal.

Go for it, if you’d like. It's at $144 now. A pretty steep discount from the original price but still more than I want to pay. If it ever gets down to $100 I might do it.
