I listened to a 1974 live recording (Fly By Night era) the other day. You can see why they took off.

Bdooom - tish! I'm here all week ladies and gentlemen !

I still reckon his Rick tone on Tom Sawyer is hard to beat.

Even if it was played on a Jazz. :o

From a thread on TB ..

watch 4:15 - 4:55

He indeed says that Tom Sawyer was the Jazz and that Red Barchetta was Ric. But he also says that he thinks (doesn't seem totally sure) that Limelight was Ric as well.

I think Geddy is a bit mistaken about Limelight in that interview and he seems uncertain (The Camera Eye might be another matter). He's so adamant about Tom Sawyer here though:

Oddly, for all his banging on about not enough low end from his Rick (I'm guessing he didn't know about the capacitor bypass), it's the attack that really sounds different to my ears. Plenty of bottom end from his Rickenbacker (and everything else) on Exit Stage Left.

Are you guys getting the CD delivered early as part of being in their fan club/mailing list? Just curious as I'll order one now if they're sending it out early to everyone!

Speaking of tone, am I right in thinking that Headlong Flight is played on a jazz? I had someone say it sounded very much like a Rickenbacker but I'm not all that familiar with the Rick sound to say otherwise. It sounds like an excellently played jazz to me.

Isn't it the Steiny?

My guess would be Jazz - don't think he's played the Steinberger since the start of the Power Windows sessions (where he discovered Wal).

My copy of the CD hasn't arrived yet - I have listened to the album by (cough) other means (/cough).

Hmmm... strange, if ever there was a Rick tone, I could swear that's it. Regardless though, its a superb bass tone.

Oh well, shows how much I know. I should stick to guitar ! :blink:

I'm not really sure why anyone really cares TBH mate, almost everything can sound like almost anything.

At least 90% of it will be down to Geddy playing it anyway. I always sound like me, regardless of which bass I'm playing.

It's heeeereeee.....

Lovely package. I hope the record lives up to it...

Mine too!

I've listened to two thirds of it. It's good! I'm enjoying it! So much better than S&A. The title track is the highlight for me so far.
