  • My next bass is a Mocha '78 like yours. Currently using a '78 SB. Nice tone and presentation.

  • wanted to hear DR Sunbeams again (used to use them myself) and found your video here. beautiful bass, nice tone - good work :)

  • Hey.. Exco version u can't be ever tired playing this riff, yeah.

    " keep it live" says the MOOCH

  • NIce tone !!! Great cover !

  • Nice bridge. I built a bass a couple months back and put a Badass II on it as well.

  • Nice P bass I'm partial to Jazz bass and Ibanez myself I find the neck a little big for my small hands lol. But damn thats one nice tone on my favourite song off moving pictures, cheers to you good sir! *edit*

  • Dude, how do you get that tone??

  • Geddy did use his rick on this song. He uses a jazz bass to play it now, so you're probably not far off the sound.

  • excellent playing bro - I'm working on this song at the moment and you've inspired me.. The tone on your P sounds fantastic, What amp are you using?

  • Fabulous! f***ing fabulous!

  • One of my favourite bass lines to one of Rush's most endearing songs. I learnt this long ago and it was a bitch. Congrats man. You bring back many good memories.

  • Just goes to show how truly versatile a P-Bass can be! Excellent vid!

  • Great sound on that pbass!

  • Nice dude I've always like mocca on pbasses! Are those stock pups. They are so beefy, almost like Qp's!

    I love your work!

  • woah nice tone and do you have a bad ass 2 bridge on that p-bass?

  • yes, its a badass II, I'm glad I added it. got it on ebay new for a great price. thanks

  • I was checking out some of your videos. You're an excellent bass player. I don't read music so I play by ear. I definately can learn a few things by watching you. Keep jammin

  • i like the colour of that p bass.

    great cover.

  • Hey man. Nice job. As far as I know, Geddy played the Jazz bass to record all of moving pictures, but played the Ric on the supporting tour.

  • He played the ric... a each pickup through a differnt amp.

  • hey I've been looking for a new brand of rounds to put on my jazz and p bass. I'm looking for a warmer sounding roundwound string, still retaining round characteristics but without the nasty high end. Is this DR sunbeams or should I keep looking?

    thanks and nice vid btw : D

  • I like the DR Sunbeams. They are nickel roundwounds, which make them smoother to the touch and easier on fretboards, with a good life-span. They have great warm tone and a deep low end. The high string is 45 gauge, which shouldn't be too high-end sounding, I prefer them over same gauge steel roundwounds like Rotosounds.

  • DR Hi-Beams ftw! I've seriously never broken one and I do a lot of slapping. If they're good enough for Marcus Miller, they're good enough for me =P

  • @BassManOnTheHill , After playing flats for years ,I started using Sunbeams 6 months ago ,really like them.

  • @BassManOnTheHill , After playing flats for years ,I started using Sunbeams 6 months ago ,really like them. By the way good playing.

  • Dude- You can also try Rotosound RS 66LDN. They're the Nickel as opposed to the steel, which have that wicked high end you're talking about. I'm using them on my Alembic now and they're much warmer than the steel, yet you still get that ballsy punch you want.

  • Sounds good, keep it up. ;D

  • Great job as always.

  • i have the official tab book and this is pretty spot on... nice work

  • nice to see you again! sound really great!

  • Great cover! Nice bass too!

  • because of you, i am dying for a precision bass maple neck with a badass bridge.

  • you can't go wrong with a vintage P Bass, and the bridge really made a difference. I'd like to upgrade the pickups next.

  • Excellent job, and a great "ear" as always. Now, if I would just get off my butt and start posting some videos too!! You've inspired me. ;)

  • Thanks, I finally got off my butt too. First new vid in several months.
