Bass - Rush - The Spirit of Radio

[noheadundead]

Nice bass!

[zackjp]

if geddy lee was there he would say "the force is strong with this on " LOL

[MrBlister50Studious]

Rickenbacker = Sex

[zackjp]

@MrBlister50Studious i agree there so clean and dark sounding but you can get a clean melody too

[zackjp]

i love the sound of the old ric 4000 series

[metalheadneji]

Sweet cover Rush rulez

[RUSH1200]

NICE.........

[allurhatrbelongtome]

very nick rickenbacker

[harveyt101]

Wow, awesome job on this very difficult song! 5 Stars! It's a tough song, I just just did this song on the drums.

[apocrypha121]

That you very much for your wonderful playing. I wanted to learn how to play this song, and without access to guitar pro, there's no good tabs out there. You greatly helped me learn the idea of how this song should be played. Thank you; keep on rockin'!

[JCACFILMS]

nice job but start using your pinky on faster parts.

[bigwatertower]

Hey fcbv, thanks for putting this out there - nicely done - ignore the moron jagoffs who are being armchair critics - let's see their videos!

This has been really helpful as I'm a guitar player picking up some bass on the side, and two groups I'm jamming with want to play Limelight and Spirit

Video position is great too - easy to see what both hands are doing.

Thanks!

[rushlimelight23]

awesome im teaching ,yself this song rite now its so hard to read online bass tabs tho..... i needed to hear the song!!!! lol!!!

[tascaman69]

This is Ok, but I suggest you learn it properly before you post

[Iommi1]

Good job; difficult bass part; you are no Geddy, but then again few are!

[alex61640]

"few are Gedies". Just visualised a group of Geddies. lol.

[Timmy4pawz]

Wtf, that bass has like 12 frets xD

[vectron12]

wtf

i don't see how

you can see the 12th fret mark isn't that close to the body

[tallicafan250169]

timmy4pawz 12 is enough for geddy and cliff so who cares and also theres more then twelve

[nevereveragin]

damn dude this is bad ass, ive been tryin 2 figure out this song on guitar. ive got most of it down it just little stuff here and there i dont know. are u in a band

[MrRush1974]

Nice rickenbacker. I perfer the fender but rickenbacker give out a rlly cool sound. Geddy uses rickenbacker all the time.

[JCACFILMS]

no he uses a fender now

[mastadon1111]

yes he uses the fender, he used the rick for the studio in this song though, he used the fender for songs like freewill and tom sawyer

[grlrob]

That intro could use a little cleaning up. You should really start using your pinky.

[adrian5b]

I agree with both things, that fast part at the intro needs your pinky in order to get clean.

[Sartori]

I got way better at bass when I started using my pinky, which is now much stronger than my ring finger.

[XMuseXObsessiveX]

I just watched your video for Bliss and after it i checked your other videos and now i think i love you...

You are amazing. Please, don't ever stop playing. You own it to the world of music.

[TheChugulator]

Good job that intro is tough stuff man!

[PrimericanIdol]

sorry, but you HAVE to sing it too.

[MyFlamsAreLethal]

Some say you can't slap a Rickenbacker. Is that true?

[rendog92]

you can lol

there is a video on here called like ric slapping

[Josh3200]

In the YouTube search bar, type "Can't slap a Ric"

You will get your answer.

[WithoutDaDramaticPun]

I typed "Can't Slap a Ric", and got a video of "RickRoll'd". :P

[IronMaidenDoD]

@WithoutDaDramaticPun Lol.

[jamzales]

that's not true getting enough bass on it is possible I've owned a Ric 4001. Also you can check out zodiakironfist video's.

[FFEMT152]

I like the higher tone of the rickenbacker, but the low E sounds like piss. It just has no bottom to it. Piss on the Rick

[mclovin1006]

what kind of bass is that? awesome video!

[youknowyourrite1]

a rickenbacker 4003

[TheChugulator]

Anybody know how much 4003s cost, on average cost?

[rendog92]

Yes sir, used around $1200, new, about $1600-$1800 online

[Josh3200]

New - Roughly about $2,000 USD

Used (eBay) - Roughly about $1,500 USD

[MattBodossian]

Nice cover rickenbackers are best in burgundy though.

[rushfanfave13]

that was awesome but i play it differently

[BloodNHonor]

OMG I love rickies!!

[RSBigJukeRS]

I want to see you play "Malignant Narcissism" also known as "MalNar" by RUSH from their 2007 album "Snakes and Arrows"

[skyprop]

Love the way you did the Taurus pedal part on the bass during the chorus

[trigun908]

Great song, great job. =)

[trigun908]

Play more songs, please. C:

[GaryNull]

You have a nice feel.

[bassrox14]

you did an awesome job. im tryin to learn this so could you slow it down or make and instructional video so people can learn more easily from you?

[E7022]

dude that was awsome can i get the tabs?

[fcbv]

Thanks! I don't use tabs though sorry.

[elconquistidor1991]

That's really cool that you don't use tabs, it's hard to find bassists and guitarists that read the actual music.

[fuzzcentralage]

DAYUUM!

[Tomcat54]

Amazing in more ways than one. I'm a fan =D

[1aw1ess]

yo that's so sweet

i'm currently teaching myself these songs as well and you're helping a lot

thanks!

[action3909]

where u get ur tabs?

[fcbv]

I mostly learn by ear.

[jdasicalyahoo]

very nice!

[geddy2112lee]

Great Job!!!!

[MetalManiac72]

Yes!!! You made a video! I was beginning to think you wouldn't make another one. Good Job! ;D

[destructicon500]

I envy your bass and your playing
