My Classic Ray is 2eq and it's currently strung with TI Flats that work really well with the electrics. 

My 91 SR 4H has GHS Pressurewound strings and I think they work really well!

and I just love the sound of the 2eqs. 

Same here, there is something about the sound of the 2EQ that just works for me.

All I know is that it's not new, he played it on the last tour, as pictured here. The logo on the pickguard is the astronomical symbol for the planet Mercury.

It is a 1962 Fender Jazz Bass Foam Green (Refin). It is featured in "Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass" that I can strongly recommend. Great book!

He writes about it: "It's one of the most thrilling basses I own. The more I use it, the more it's starting to edge out my Number One '72 Jazz. When we plugged it in during the rehearsals for R40, we were quite literally blown away by its tone and power - especially in the bottom end..."

Have we just seen Foos new drummer? 😁

 

She's pretty damn good... and enjoying every second. 

FF should go on hiatus until Nandi has finished school in 3-4 years and then return with her as the new drummer. Would be cool. 

Omar is great, he also played with Chic during Bernard Edward's last ever gig - Live at the Budokan in 96!

YYZ. Amazing

But Dave's not on the drums? Maybe a bit above his pay grade? 😉 

Working man next. Man, I really regret never having seen Rush live 😞 

Just now, Doctor J said:

Grohl playing for Rush is pretty focken cool, I'll be honest

He looks like being in full Animal from the Muppets mode 😉 

2112 Part I: Overture. Nice 😀

Looking forward to RUSH next 🤩

Pretenders now, with Dave Grohl on bass again

Cheers, mate 👍

JPJ 😀 

Looks like the Twitter list is correct indeed!

Found on Twitter the order of appearance:

Supergrass, followed then by Them Crooked Vultures, The Pretenders, James Gang, Violet Grohl & Mark Ronson, Brian Johnson and Lars Ulrich, Stewart Copeland, Rush, Queen, and Foo Fighters (apparently scheduled to play from 8:10pm to 10:30pm!). Well, let's see 🙂

Josh Freese, according to https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/foo-fighters/2022/wembley-stadium-london-england-3b0a5bb.html

 

Oh, yes, he looked vaguely familiar. Remember him from A Perfect Circle.

First a black P, now a red one with a black pickguard, just like mine 🙂

do you mean made in japan ?     because that recording sounds like an effin bootleg with the mike hidden in a tin can ,,,awful crap .

Ups, yes, Made in Japan of course! 

There are many, here are some that come to my mind, in no particular order

Very nice 🤩 I love the stealth look. I think some black knobs would be great to complete the look. 

Enjoy 👍

That is perfect. Please bear me in mind if you ever move it on. My favourite era for Rays 👍

Will do. However, it took me years to find an EBMM SR 4H in natural with 2EQ, maple fingerboard, a nice wood grain and arm and body contours, so I hope that I do not have to sell it anytime soon. It plays extremely well and I really like the sound of the 2EQ. I know with EQing you can also get the 3EQs close to it, but I am a plug and play kind of guy, so it is a great bass for me. Great build quality too.
