DirkPrattLerxst Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Since there's so many bass changes for R40 I was wondering what bass was your guys' favorite. I really like the seafoam green jazz bass and the white thunderbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The one he shreds! oh wait that is all of them Hmmmm :geddy: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbass Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 So many to choose from, but having his 1975 Ric 4080 Jetglo in rotation again is a top pick for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'll have to wait till I actually hear them in concert but the regular Ric 4001 will always be my favorite that he has played in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the tourbook, he is playing a 1977 4001 Jetglo, and the one I own is also a 1977 Jetglo! :haz: Definitely one of my personal favorites! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I still had it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I had a cream 70's 4001 (think Chris Squire) that I sold many decades ago because I was poor. I still think about it and want to cry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's does hurt... I sold my first Rick off years ago, but was fortunate enough to get the one I have now for not too much money (owned it for 30 yrs and counting) - this one is not going anywhere! ;-) Here it it with a few of my other frequent flyers: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s282/rushbass/Miscellanious/my%20electric%20basses.jpg Edited May 16, 2015 by rushbass 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold the one I had because I didn't see any point in having more than one bass. My other one was a 1975 Fender Precision which was my first bass. It was my one and only for a lot of years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudbuytjane Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If I had the money, the walls of my house would be covered by basses, like John Entwistle's in The Kids Are Alright. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy Jazz Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The 1966 Shoreline gold Jazz is awesome...if I have to pick a "favorite" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I really like the look of that Les Paul style bass (starts with Z or something). It's also pretty cool that they brought out the double neck :geddy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasesigi Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I will have to hear them in person ..... Really surprised by the selection, no Steinberger no Wal? and instead a few Gibsons, a Hofner and a Zematis? I can't wait to hear them all in person, especially the P Basses and the Gibson. I love my Geddy Jazz Bass, my Steinberger gets played less and less ..... I am guessing I will leave Greensboro inspired to want a third Bass :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Digital Man Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Very disappointed he didn't bring the Wal out but i'm probably in a minority, it was a big part of Rush history though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushIslander Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hate to be Rash, but I would love it if Geddy brought both the Steinberger and Wal on stage and smashed them, and then light them on fire. :fury: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentpilot Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I play a Jazz and I just love the versatility of them. Think they sound great. I always thought the ricks sounded kind of muddy. I am not a huge fan of the thunderbirds I used to play them and they have way too much low sound. Sounds off for animate and one little victory. It's pretty cool sounding on how it is. His Jazz's are my favorite. I like the seafoam but I like the maple necked black and red jazz more. Also the tone on the jazz is the easiest to model into different album sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want him to play Hemispheres, Natural Science, Lakeside Park, Anthem etc. on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't too bad on Hold Your Fire but on Presto it was quite gaseous. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
