EagleMoon Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I believe he had two different ones. I know one was a 12 string guitar/bass. I'm thinking the other one was a 6 string guitar/bass. And yes, he used it in both of those songs mentioned above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 At the very end of Xanadu, when Alex is playing those "from heaven" passages on his 12 string, Geddy actually uses a guitar pick ( ! ) and plays the descending line on his "guitar" neck .... it is a magical ending to a classic song 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some where this got asked, if they play A Passage to Bangkok and Xanadu will the double neck rick come out? The double neck Ricky has been retired... as in permanently.If you saw the MP tour you saw the double Ricky. Ged used it on Xanadu that tour for sure (See the ESL video for proofz). ETA: 11:48 of this video you can see Ged's left hand on the 12 string neck and you can see him strum a chord right before hitting a key on the keyboard.https://youtu.be/6ker-C8FE2c ETA2: 8MM boot from Chicago on the MP tour.. go to 9:40ish Edited March 27, 2015 by Snaked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 http://youtu.be/q8XEr_DFROcJump to about 12:12 and you'll catch a glimpse or two of Geddy using the lower neck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If they bring back 'Xanadu' for R40, do we get the double neck back in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If they bring back 'Xanadu' for R40, do we get the double neck back in service?Al's, yes. But I imagine we'll get the abbreviated version from the Counterparts and R30 tours, so I don't think we'll see Geddy's doubleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
