THE BOTTOM LINE ( " Cinderella Man " by Rush ) Geddy Lee Jazz Bass

[gtraero]

This vid totally makes me want to buy the BBE BMAX Preamp. Have you played it through a loud power amp or at a live gig?

[fizik2112]

it annoys me that these punks (quite literally) play bass in a punk band and have no respect for their own instrument, this is a prime example of how i feel geddy got young bass players to be innovative....this song just has such a melodic adventurous bass line but still stands on its own two feet

the syncopation during the solo is just dynamite, still 3rd fav album and this part never ceases to make me giggle every time i hear it

great cover, it makes me want to tackle it myself

[davidvetter1]

Aww those guitars and basses in the background are all sleeping on your bed :)

[BassPlayerRene9]

[tbrewska69]

Excellent! Very fluid. I did not realize what a sweet bass line is in that song. Very impressive. Now I'm all inspired.. ha ha ha.... happy new year. :)

What a way to start the day, wanted to hear this song, and as luck (or fate) would have it I was view 2112. Great song with words by God (Geddy)

One other thing, Great bass by Lifesonfan4life!

[LifesonFan4Life]

Thanks for the kind words tk3 !

Based on this vid I went and got a bmax for $150 (seemed like a good deal). I have a pretty kick ass p bass with Nordstrand pickups. Anyway, I didnt dig the sound. Have it up for sale on craigslist for $200.  Just didnt growl like yours does. Too sterile sounding.

[LifesonFan4Life]

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you Bohs ... it works for me for as a great practice rig in conjunction with the Carvin AG100D acoustic amp ... Let me know what you get that gives you a better growl .. good luck man

[bohs1984]

tone sounds great. is that the tube bbe or is it the ss model? Im thinking of getting one and the price difference in the two is huge. THANKS,

[LifesonFan4Life]

Thanks ! It's the solid state B-Max .. and your right , the price difference is way too much for the tube version , otherwise I would of got it myself .. but it's a combination of both the Carvin AG100D acoustic amp and the B-Max ... great for practicing !

[losingitrush]

excuse me, what strings are those?

[LifesonFan4Life]

They're Elixir's but I'm currently using Ernie Ball .... I like the Elixir's but once they 'shed' their protective coating they look pretty nasty ... at least I can take off these and boil them and get more twang out of them for a few more days

[mandingo9999999]

Great job dude.

[deadbeatdad]

Sweet...gonna have to bring over my 12-string sometime and jam on this with you! Well done!

[campclimax]

Man you've got massive hands...

[LifesonFan4Life]

Lmao .... Well I'm 6'3" .. so I'd look a little weird with tiny doll hands ... A lot of my friends ask me how I play lead guitar with hands that are the equivalent to a batch of bananas

[JAEZSC90]

Wow, impressive.

[martster777]

AND HE SINGS ON TOP OF THAT

[snapperface]

Loved it...on the money brother.

I miss candy too...nice to know he is thought of.

[hershism]

Excellent job bro - do more Rush! Great tone and playing !!

[vineyardedge]

That was awesome! :) Love the sound..you kick my ass on bass :)

[LifesonFan4Life]

My bass swooning into the camera at the end is my little tribute to John Candy and his character Dr. Tongue from the legendary SCTV series ... r.i.p big fella

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]
