[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1431290237' post='2769742'] That's really easy on the eye. [/quote] Sure is - but 4080s have always felt a bit top-heavy for me. Stick the bass on the bottom like a Shergold or Mike Rutherford's customer Rickenbacker 360/12-4001 cut&shut model. (I'm sure Geddy will see the error of his ways on reading this and switch immediately)

+1 for Procell - recently rebranded as Duracell Industrial. Get them from Babz Media on eBay for best price and fastest delivery. Here's the 10 for £8 pack, [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-DURACELL-INDUSTRIAL-9V-ALKALINE-BATTERIES-MN1604-PP3-MN1604-REPLACES-PROCELL-/150518690146"]http://www.ebay.co.u...L-/150518690146[/url]

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1431210336' post='2768917'] Thanks, I think I half heard a trailer but didn't catch the timing. [/quote] Probably 11/8

Wide open on a Jazz bass, it's hard to fiddle with them for volume purposes when there's two of them. Overall I use a volume pedal at the end of my effects chain for swells and fades, or just playing dynamics as the song dictates.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1431254548' post='2769187'] No. Buy everything they have done and sell the ones you don't like :-) [/quote] What, even Test For Echo?

Moving Pictures, 2112, Counterparts, A Farewell To Kings should give you good coverage. Or try the live albums Exit Stage Left, A Show Of Hands and Different Stages for a good cross section of everything.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1431147244' post='2768219'] The logistics would be crazy.... We'll see. [/quote] It'd be great but it's as much Neal Peart's tendonitis as logistics, see https://classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2015-04-29/rush-neil-peart-tendonitis-tour-retirement

Wot no YYZ

There's a guy here on basschat who posted some great demos of (probably among others) the Sonuus Wahoo, which were instrumental (sorry) in me getting one of the same. So there are good ones out there, but as you say some are awful. Thumbs-up to TC Electronic as another manufacturer to provide good non-nonsense pro demos of their pedals.

Wow! Great second set. First set *wavy handy* but it's Rush so they're let off. How far down did they have to tune for the old stuff?

Listened to it once, didn't get it. Not as good as Scott 4 or Nite Flights, but then again not much is.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430430250' post='2761477'] G2 announced recently that their 'Mike' was leaving - Parkinson's has finally got the better of him sadly. Loads of time for Mike Rutherford and it must be a tough gig being him. [/quote] Yeah, very sad news. Dave has a pillar of the Genesis trib scene since very soon after the time I started in the mid-90s - and passed on incredibly valuable info about how to keep a Moog Taurus I in tip-top condition (mine weren't).

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430419702' post='2761322'] Which ones? I've seen G2 and ReGenesis lately. [/quote] First was Invisible Touch, mid-90s to early 2000s, then a stint with In The Cage kind of mid-2000s to 2007 or 08. Did a one off with The Carpet Crawlers from Liverpool around the same time, and was later hired by ReGenesis but didn't gig with them due to cabinet reshuffles. I often bump into current and ex incumbents on the prog gig circuit - there seem to be more Genesis tribs around now than ever before.

Genesis (retired). I've been the "Rutherford" in about 4 UK tribs armed with Shergold, Rickenbacker, Moog and a 12-string acoustic (which was the hardest to play of the lot)

I saw them at the Borderline in London a couple of years ago, great stuff. Is their 21st Century Schizoid Man cover still in the set?

Agree! Having said that it's hard enough to get my guitarist and keyboard to shut up/play quietly at any other time that I take the opportunity to improve my soloing to both help me keep track of where I am, and play something interesting and meaningful at the time. Which is also difficult.

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1429740522' post='2754578'] Lol me too! Although I would be partial to my work with Joni Mitchell. [/quote] I'd struggle with the high-waist trousers tbh

Yep, I've got an Analogman BiComprossor which allows either/or/both compressors to be engaged at any time. Or, just get a boost as others have said - Mark Bass Super Booster is another example.

If you're feeling adventurous, try it in 7/8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckp8mJN5ojI

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1429704971' post='2754111'] I play it starting at 5th position, so 2nd finger on the b flat. That way you keep the same pattern as you move around the neck. [/quote] Same here, but maybe third or fourth time around there's some raking down to the F on the E string that works best playing the B flat 1st fret on the A string. Move positions and some different note choices will jump out at you.

Here's someone's photocopies of the relevant pages from The Essential Jaco Pastorius, this is the version originally from Invitation: http://www.youbioit.com/es/article/imagen/4045/imagen19 (click back a couple of pages for Soul Intro if you need that as well)

Get a transcription, read along while listening. Don't try to learn it note for note, just nick your favourite bits.

I'd flatten the EQ.
