Great Cover! I have a question about splitting the Rics Pups. I notice you only have one jack in the bass, but how did you split the two pups? Did you do two tracks of this: one per pup?
I have a Ric 4003, myself, and I've tried putting a jack in both outputs thru two amps and it wouldn't work.
@lasteffect Thanks very much. And using two jacks isn't the correct way to bi-amp a Rick. You have two options: 1. Buying a Rick-O-Sound cable or 2. Making one yourself.
The Rick-O-Sound was made BY Rickenbacker FOR Rick basses. Which means the splitter box has a Rick logo on it and it cost $75. The Rick-O-Sound is discontinued. You could find one on ebay most likely. Or build your own. I went the lazy route and bought a Rick-O-Sound before they quit making them.
@lasteffect But I am running both outputs to the same amp. That may not be advised.
The Rick-O-Sound is just a Y splitter that takes one cable (from the "Stereo" jack in your bass) to a splitter box and then separates the signal from each pup. Again, I ran bass clean to my amp's passive input and treble through a preamp into the active input of my amp.
Sweet Rickenbacker, although I don't think Geddy used a Ric for recording this song, but anyway great cover!

@RandomGuyInAHat Of course he didn't. I felt like giving the song a little Ricky 'clank' and I think it worked out well.

Good luck figuring it out!
