Which MM Bass to cover Rush?

[2ndBassGuitar]

I would say that Rush rates somewhere just behind;

54-40, Bryan Adams, April Wine, Barenaked Ladies, Barney Bentall, Blue Rodeo, BTO, Chilliwack, Doug and The Slugs, Downchild Blues Band, Guess Who,
Headpins, Hedley, Loverboy, Nickelback, The Band, Tragically Hip, Trooper,
Neil Young, etc

And possibly just slightly ahead of Hank Snow, Don Messer, Tommy Hunter, Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot and Justin Bieber;

Not sure where to slot Paul Anka, Shania and k.d. lang and Celine Dion

All have fantastic bass players but Rush has Geddy Lee!

+1. :d

 

[Powman]

You left out celine dion.

Ummm....no.

 

[Powman]

Rush is not just the best Canadian band, but the best band period.

Well said!!!

I think Geddy could get his sound with a Silvertone bass through his normal amp set up.
Doubt that anyone could get his sound using his equipment.
It's the player not the gear IMO.

*raising hand* OH, OH, Oh, can I guess...

4 fingers on the Left and + 2 on the right = 6... Oh and the thumb for when it gets a little funky

sterling by musicman ray 35
what strings and settings suggested?

this is understood about the flamenco plucking tech

I don't know guys, in my opinion the Sterling fits the bill perfectly. Tight agressive tone.

......and a smaller neck

win.WIN!

 

[fly]

that a joke? hope you aren't referring to Chilliwak, Red Rider (though I'm a big fan and their bass player was the original bassist), Triumph or Nickleback. All those bands had great moments but nobody compares to Rush from Canada imho.

Rush are legends... though I've never met one girl who liked them so you may have a point

well said........
