default236 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 For any one who was at the opening night, do you recall the guitars Alex and Ged were playing? There's no equipment tab on the updated Rush website (bummer) but, I'm sure I'm not the only one dying to see the guitars Alex and Geddy brought along! Any pics or links to gear discussions are more than welcome!
LittleRushmonkey Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I saw a pic of Geddy and Al with double necks :D 1
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I watched a stream. Les Pauls, a Tele, Double Neck, and the 355 are what I saw. Ged played a variety of basses too. Haven't seen many pictures yet though.
EagleMoon Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 From what I could see from the live feed: AlexES-335ES-355Axcess TeleStrat GeddySunburst Ric 4080Black Ric 4001Gibson reverse ThunderbirdRed bass I didn't recognizeNatural Fender jazz 1
Sir Lerxst Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 It sounds from the bootleg like Geddy used a P bass for a song in the first set (not going to say any song names). 1
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Normally this kind of thread would belong here in the musicians section, but this kind of info qualifies as spoilers, so I'm moving it to the R40 spoiler forum.

Any pics or links to gear discussions are more than welcome! I think the answer is: all of them!

cygnify Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I wonder if the orchestral chimes (tubulars) were actually miked up or if that was just a sample. There is a glockenspiel sound that syncs with the chime sound. Makes me wonder
cygnify Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I also wondered from the photos that I saw whether the marshal stacks were for real or just for show. Seeing as how they were being dismantled during the second set, I suspect they were just for show.
x1yyz Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 On one song approx. AFTK era, Alex & Ged were playing instruments painted in matching paisley. (Sorry, I'm not a gear head and don't know which bass/guitar.)
tskidmore Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 That 335 looks a lot like his original '67, that would be amazing, it dont think it has been on the road in a long time. Nice to see the double necks make an appearance again, that looks like a new Ric for Ged. I havent seen any pics with the Hentor though. Freddy you out there?
edm2112 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah from the few photos i've seen it looks like that red bass might possibly be a Reverend bass...but I'm not entirely sure. They all looked like they were having a blast playing on instruments they haven;t brought out for years...or at all for that matter. 1

After all of these years playing pretty much the same thing, it's interesting that they would bring out some many different instruments on this tour. 1

Asking for sound quality headaches.

Freddy you out there?Al did use a Strat with different pickups, but it's unknown what the mods were or if it was a hentor.
HemiBeers Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I guess I'm ok with the Tele on RTB since I believe he's used that on RTB before. But using the Tele on Anthem just sounded too thin and wimpy IMO. Encore needs the es355 or les paul as plan B. Gotta use what you recorded it with. Edited May 9, 2015 by 2112FirstStreet

rushbass Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Red bass I didn't recognize The bass used on JL appears to be Candy Apple Red Fender Precision Bass with tort pickgard... Cool! There was also another red bass, with black pickgard / headstock... I have no idea what that one is either... a Firebird??? Edited May 9, 2015 by rushbass
default236 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 Alex was using a Les Paul with F holes for Tom Sawyer. I want to say it was a LP Florentine but I'm not entirely sure.

Jaminbenb Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 So with the set changes I'm going to venture a guess and say that both Alex and Geddy are BOTH "DI" as opposed to using any cabinets?

Gibson released a couple of semi hollow Les Pauls the last couple of years. There's the Supreme and the ES Memphis which they're touting as a 335/Les Paul hybrid. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015-Memphis/ES-Les-Paul.aspx 1
