Xanadu - 4080 Bass / guitar, minimoog, Taurus III

[NickHill668]

man i bet that thing is heavy to lift! 

[Biscoch0]

Awesome.

ps: do u shit money? :P

[LameMailBox]

After 6:50 I Had To Stop Watching I Was Totally Blown Away. Amazing Job Man. Its People Like You How Should Be Famous

[MrQuestionAuthority]

I play lead guitar, and love playing Rush tunes. But when I added the Taurus 3 pedals.....I became an idiot. I'm totally locked up on changing effects and still hitting the pedals on cue. Keep trying....keep trying. I was born with two left feet.

[AnubisXII]

Man. Great job!

Dude, I almost bought a 4080 at a guitar show in Dallas nearly 20 years ago. It was standing right next to a near-mint 79 Gibson 6/12 Doubleneck. You talk about decision time... And they were both the same price. Ugh.

Needless to say, I came home with the Gibson (as seen on my Xanadu vid). A year later I found a sweet maple '78 4001 (as seen in my Xanadu vid). I never would have gotten that if I had the 4080. Had to make my own Taurus pedals though (as seen in my Xanadu vid).

[tapkae]

This is a surefire way to NOT get girls in school!

[Rowdyrecords55]

Can I ask how much that beautiful bass cost you?

[starman21121]

what setting is your t3 on?

[zddoodah]

That is just BADASS!! No other word for it!

[siti1ca]

beast!

[siti1ca]

i watched 8 seconds and it alread kicks ass. let u know when i am done!

[chocoholic77]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

FFFFF*****************KKKKKK YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YYYYYEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I've got tears in my eyes!

Thank you sir!

[MrGordonGartrelle]

This is simply spectacular.

[JimmyJames714]

Excellent!



[vineyardedge]

Great job! Someone shared this on my Facebook because they knew I would dig it! I grew up in Coconut Creek- an hour north of Miami so I was a Dolphins fan when I grew up too. I've been a Rush fan since about 1980.

[lavaxtris1]

Not to mention both the live and studio versions of this song are recorded about 20 cents sharp/flat, or in another tuning altogether....

[RetardicA]

One day.... One day... I'll have a 4080. By the Gods, I will have one.

[SystemOneBand]

Dude, You're me from years ago!

Miamian, but w/ an Ibanez 4/6. Taurus 2, and Oberheim synths!!

Still have 'em!

Great performance - only one minor issue:

The 4/6 was used on Passage to Bangkok,

a 4/12 was used on Xanadu - you can hear it at the guitar run Geddy plays at the end.

So ... you need to get another toy.

[pdannen]

Brilliant. Simply awesome. Well done dude.



[Fredrockroll]

i'll just ignore the fact that you are a Dolphins fan and say... that's fucking awsome!

[dazedbass]

Wow! That was amazing! I always wondered how Geddy played ALL the parts. Great work indeed!

[badback22]

WOW! Many many authentic RUSH flavors man :) Just like I like it! Hey Fab 3 we got ya covered!!!

Very well done Thx. Maybe have a look at my covers. RUSH

[floouk]

Rubbish!! Lol

[LucDaRocka1]

how much was that sucka?

[Hoeker]

you must be rich! rush is the best!

[andrelerxt]

excelent job, man! hands down. congrats

[sjfalcon2001]

That was incredible. I am speechless...

[ctbtyper]

Great job...if you ever want to sell that 4080, just let me know. :)

[ZIG4ZAG20]

Nice job dude. you really nailed it in my opinion. I have to ask though, was learning the actual song notes and parts easier then learning how to set up and run all that equipment to really make the song sound proper. All us Rush fans know what a job they do orchestrating all the instrumentation it takes to sound good and that is commendable alone even if you flub a note here or there.

[ShadowDensity]

Well I think you suck :)

JK, but I figured I'd say something to break up the well-deserved endless stream of compliments. I enjoyed this... and damn the 4080 is one funky looking instrument.

[gordon7443]

......speechless.............

[prfd52]

Rush and Dolphins = Cool Dude!

[Hidan270]

you've dined on honey dew.....

[ironcitydevildog]

Love the equipment. Hard to find a 4080, and a minimoog!!!!

[RetardicA]

Jesus fucking christ. Can I BE you?!

[WillTube4F00d]

Oh my..

[FlametopFred]

Why aren't you in a band already ? Get out there, join - or better yet - FORM your own band. Nice job .. on everything.

[miamigroove]

@FlametopFred

LOL im in a band already

[FlametopFred]

@miamigroove - - yeah but I've heard what they're saying behind your back : ) Seriously ... they need to feature you. At least (AT LEAST) a 15 minute solo section of each show. Where you can stretch out and flex your various muscles.

[oliplaysbass]

that guitar is ridiculous!

[GodHetfield]

sei davvero tu, DIO?

is it really you, GOD?

Bravissimo!

se un giorno dovessi mai capitare a Miami...esigo delle lezioni

GOOD,

if one of these days i've ever come to Miami...I MUST have some bass/music class!

[DarthSlayer88]

Amazing cover! And GO DOLPHINS!!!!

[ibanezman1025]

Dude, you rock! Excellent cover, awesome gear, and divine music sent from the heavens!

[gandrade27]

This is the most insane video I have ever seen. I don't think I have ever posted a comment on YouTube, but this demands it. There is NO ONE that can top this as a Rush fan or cover musician.

[miamigroove]

@gandrade27

Thanks for the very nice compliment!

[xyz321123]

i'm guessing your not married.. LOL.. That was quiet good, enjoyed watching it. Check out my home page sometime, I have over 30 rush covers.. Good day..

[FoxeyHound]

How fucking much did all that cost you?~!?!?!

[PDexters]

Man, epic song from a epic band that relesead an epic live album. Congratulations! This is one of my favourite songs and I'm really glad for watching you playing \o/. Keep on ProgRocking!

[Thermionman1970]

YYYeeesss! Awesome! I will never forget the first time I heard this incredible song on a scratched up vinyl ! Love the sound of the moog...!

[TheWhippinpost]

Wow, that's taking it the extra mile! Thoroughly enjoyed.

[jordom5]

that bass is amazing

[Hermes2112]

Amazing! 

[kikme778]

fucking epic

[LaughingPeanutStudio]

how much does a ric 4080 cost?

[mrasbid]

Just Spectacular

[visog]

Man that's a fan!!!!!

[axllovesslash]

pretty spot on, now you have to do this standing up, and singing in front of 10000 people

[Shadic159]

I love this bass, where you bought him?

[ejstratrocks]

Great job, Bro!!!

[wheresthejam]

My god..just fantastic. I bet the Ric weighs a ton. No wonder you were sitting down.

[gordon7443]

brilliant what a talent chap and what nice gear you have .........well done:)

[TheTempleOfSyrinx]

Not only am I in awe of the gear you have here, but this was an AMAZING cover of an epic song.

[seekanddestroy85]

for when i first herd rush i thought it was like 5 people

[MrTBBiggs]

One of the best Rush vids I've seen here on YT- and I'm a drummer! To think that Ged also sings during all this is just amazing. Well .done.

[evassar92]

yes, YES, I love this.... Standing Ovation. This made me happy. I feel good after listening to this music.

[dwtime]

This is great, thanks for posting!

[mauriciosanroman]

Congratulations, and it looks better with a Dolphins Jersey :)

[TheMKEWERBY]

BOWSERS! Just Bowsers! Let ONJ & ELO, Although great themselves, try THAT!

[runescapefire3]

One word... AMAZING!!

[MRspiritwalker1]

I applauded at the end of that! Nice work + getting the matching gear to Geddy's couldn't have been easy either.

[pdx97206]

Also, I want to know how big the "It's the bass or ME" argument was before you helped your wife pack her things, because that Ric is amazing!

[pdx97206]

Your gear is a testament to the Rush Nerd Godhood status you have attained.

[pjmuck]

Wow, terrific job! And what an instrument! I've thought about getting a double neck but I'll never understand all these other companies that make double neck bass/guitar combinations with only a single output jack. How idiotic is that?

[TheItouched]

where did you find this ?!?!?!?!?!

[LivingInTheLimeligh7]

4080... this is fucking legend man. i thought only Geddy had one of those and the others were relics that were forbidden to the touch of a human.

[vischop]

Congratulations my friend, I imagine myself doing that, just that I only have one jazz bass, Xanadu is my favorite Rush song

a big greeting from Chile

[TK4209]

Only two things missing: the Taurus I and humbuckers on the guitar portion (although if I were you, I'd never modify that work of art).

Simply a fantastic job; you've covered the song using equipment I have wet dreams about!

[TK4209]

@TK4209 And a BAII bridge and Grover tuners on the bass portion, if I'm going to be really anal about it =D

[zackjp]

my fav guitar and synth my dream geat

[zackjp]

@zackjp gear**

[Rushguitarist1]

Dude this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cash2112]

Only Dan Marino could afford that gear.

[bario12349]

The only thing could make his setup any better would be a Taurus 1

[miamigroove]

@bario12349

Youre right. I think Im going to redo it with a T1 :)

[pfmrokman]

for 11 minutes and 57 seconds I was on the edge of my seat....

OH! I should mention.....

 I was so worried that you were gonna clang that beutiful work of art on the keyboard on the top of your rack mount.

Veeerrrryyy well done.

[Ryu12543]

That bass is GORGEOUS.

[Legionbass19]

Sir, I wish to steal your bass. I recommend you find a safe place to stay, as I will not rest until that 4080 is mine.

[RadioMasterDude]

One of the most complete covers I've seen in a while.

[superbulldog81]

Where does he get all those wonder toys???

[Wenceslas]

What amp did you use or would you recommand for a double neck 4/6?

[miamigroove]

@Wenceslas

Any decent bass amp + Roland JC-120 for guitar portion

[Wenceslas]

@miamigroove What bass amp are you yourself using?

[spitefulload]

I watched this video for the Ric 4080, which is magnificent as is your playing. As for prog rock, what a load of complete nonsense

[Spartacus2112]

Awesome!



[HellHarris]

10/10......AWESOME

you have a talent and a bank account to envy!!!!!!

[zBassGuitarFanaticz]

dude how much did all this stuff cost u?

[fboriani]

Fuuck man.... it's perfect! Congrats! []'s

[s4001]

Nice toys. :D

[BassWhiz92]

That thing must weigh a ton and a half lol

[DeltaGaryGordon]

Oh my god its a 4080. I thought they only existed in mythology

[JAPANESEFREAK120]

bad ass dude really cool i play to

[rickfan1964]

great job!! ;) where did you get all the equipment?

[gregvalou]

Wow man that is a freakin' sweet set up. Congrats!

If you are ever in Vancouver let's jam! I play a doubleneck/synths as well :D check out youtube watch?v=zO-xIW9dJL8

[hitopsful]

where did you find the tabs for the guitar part during alexs solo? i cant find t anywere =(

[miamigroove]

@hitopsful

LOL there are no tabs, im an ear player :)

However, its basically the same chords as Alex's part in the intro so look that up

[hitopsful]

@miamigroove thanks!

[ACDC123459]

@hitopsful It is an E Major, then a F# major with (E, andB) strings open, than a A and B major, with (E andB) strings open... the rest is based off an E major scale :D

hope this helped

[superbulldog81]

HOLLY COW BATMAN.......this guy is total F*%#ing AWSOME.

I must have "air played" this song over 1,000 times since 1982!!

I wish I was you!!

[atomicritual]

Amazing.... Awesome job. Beatiful gear. Enough said.

[ricardopetrinni]

Geddy is God...

[SteveShivik]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO OF A 4080 FOR EVER!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[poisonnetwork]

in what song did geddy lee use it?

[MagellanOfBass]

@poisonnetwork in this one

[poisonnetwork]

@MagellanOfBass sorry i fogot to put other in that comment

[Catnip11147]

Sweet gear! Awesome Ric! There's only one thing I found wrong with the video.  You must lose the Dolphins Jersey and replace it with a NY Giants jersey! Other than that, great video!

[miamigroove]

@Catnip11147

LOL I just wear it to hide the beer belly :0)

[Javic2112]

Great work ! Impressive gears !!! Rush on !!!

[kostashellspawn7]

Geddy will be proud... You sir are a very good player. :) All thumbs up!

[lifesonfan]

I was always under the impression that Rickenbacker custom made that double neck for Geddy. Didn't know they actually produced them for the public. This is just wonderful. One of my new favorite Youtube videos

[TheBassplaya14]

@lifesonfan They made less then 1000, including special order from the late sixties to 1975. Geddy got the first one that wasn't special order.

[lolproductions5]

where did you get it>\??

[polbecca]

You even threw in the Geddy hand flick at 8:12! That is a lovely, lovely bass.

[miamigroove]

@polbecca

LOL it sort of happened naturally there :)

[monkspank65]

IMPRESSIVE!!!!!! I want one of those Rics so bad....

[RickenbackerBass1021]

i want to have your baby

[RickenbackerBass1021]

i love you

[musicfan101ful]

great job man, you know a Rush fan when you see one ;)

[lobsterboy80]

you are my hero

[66TJP]

Great job!

Nice Mini Moog and those new Taurus pedals.

Pretty heavy guitar for 12 minutes huh?! LOL!

Really well done.

[dylansdad65]

Cool beans daddio!!!!!

[RickenbackerBass1021]

i want that bass/guitar so bad where did you get your hands on it from

[virtualoberheim]

amazing!
