Rush The Enemy Within Bass

[aclaar877]

Sounds good on your Jazz bass - you're an excellent player. Check out my version (with a Ric) if you get a chance. This one is a lot of fun to play!

[wnils]

@aclaar877 Thanks....also check out yours and it was great! and singing too!

[footcandy]

Loved it!

[wnils]

@footcandy Thank-you 

[footcandy]

Loved it!

[wnils]

@footcandy Thank-you!

[TehG3A3]

Good job, but to me it sounded too "bassy". By that I mean it sounded really low and deep. Nothing I would really expect from a Jazz Bass, let alone the Geddy Lee signature. You still did great though.

[Geddy0007]

@deepinthepocket. This is one of the songs we do live, and it's one of my favorites. If you want I have a cover of the song posted in my videos.

[machoTit]

how can geddy sing whilst doing this. his mouth must be powered by a different brain inside his throat.

[deepinthepocket]

HOLY CRAP! People forget about this song but man the bass line is great. Nice job!

[wnils]

Thank you

[timdalf]

Great job, congrats- love the sound your bass gets :)

[CosmoKrameryyz]

A deceptively tricky bass line to nail.Great effort!!

[KilledThatFatBarkeep]

Well done!

[danelectro2112]

nice work!

[JudasPriestLeppard]

awesome!! how the hell can geddy sing and play this at the same time?

[BatteryHat]

He is God. It is the only plausible explanation.

[RetardedSpiceBar]

Nice job dude, sounds awesome.

[Joshwall87]

Gotta love ya Geddy Lee bass there mate, i have the cheaper Fender Jazz 70's, i was gunna get the geddy but it was too much :(

Anyways, you rock man! plus you're alotta help because im always shit and finger work and half the time i do it the hard way :P

[winecheesery]

I prefer your intrepretation to the video by Javic. And your tone is of course mucho better. The Fender Jazz is king. Well, maybe tied to the Ricky for king.

[luesur]

How much did your bass cost?

[lowflyingcessna]

That was a very noble effort my friend. Well done!

[carlozains]

You are F*ckin Great!!

[chrisrusty99]

the chorus effects you added actually really make the song sound even better than it already is... great job by the way

[wnils]

Thank you very much chrisrusty99!

[rushfanatic16]

whats amazing is that Geddy can play that and sing at the same time!

GREAT JOB DUDE!

[2112limelight]

Great Riff and you NAILED IT

[wnils]

TY 2112!

[Chefen92]

Okay, nice playing :)

[wnils]

Thanks!

[Chefen92]

You're playing with a chorus or something over that bass right?

[wnils]

Yea...I think I was using a little bit of the built in Line6 chorus effect built into the amp....

[malawigw]

very good =)

[wnils]

TY!

[ePhilosopher]

my favourite russian dressing apply directly to forehead bow bow bouncing two extremes too flashy steely face like these philosodventures no it's contact , high

[gonepishing]

Im trying to learn it, its really fast, you made it look easy =) mny fingers go all over the place... tireing

[wnils]

Yea....very tiring indeed! Thanks

[gonepishing]

im going to try it again

hope I dont get so tired this time (forgot about this tune an learned open secrets instead =/)

[mikezes]

Great job! Please someone post the bass line for Grand Designs!!!

[wnils]

Thank-you mikezes.....and although I love playing GD.....I'd be pretending at best......

[gonepishing]

I love this song, I plan to learn it after I finish with main monkey buisness

[maxber9]

That's the wonderful thing about You Tube. Way back when it took forever to figure this line out. Hope kids today enjoy the instructional help!

[cerdabr]

yeah!! crossing fingers from now on :)

[cerdabr]

Really great job!! both tech and timbre is very good, awesome work!! love to hear rush baz! :D can i sugest some music from Vapor Trails? maybe One Little Victory, Secret Touch, or whatever, such a kickass album!!! thanks for posting :) (your Far Cry's video is fu@@#king awesome!!!)

[wnils]

TY cerdabr! I've had loads of fun playing these Rush tunes through the years. I'll see what I can do about some VT takes....

I hear you may be getting another chance to see these guys live in 2008! Hope you get to catch'em

[Gatuveloversitoprrr]

suena bien, nada mas le falta un poco mas de claridad y precision

[VampireHeart739]

haha good job with the bass part *thumbs up* and nice sound..it fits the song..haha..is that thing fretless or does it just sound like it to me?

[njdenis1]

good stuff

[njdenis1]

are you using any chorus?

[wnils]

I am indeed. It's the chorus built into the Line6 LowDown175 Amp I'm using.

[JessicaSweet71]

That's really excellent fingerwork, but you need to play this one with more vigor and authority. Keep up the good work.

[wnils]

Thanks JessicaSweet71!

[CHEEZETOAST11]

Good one Nils, I like your video framing on these last posts - much better. Thanks for playing some of the oldschool stuff. Your very talented!

[wnils]

Thanks CHEEZETOAST11!

As tricky as some of those parts are, I've still, at best, performed an oversimplified version of this song. Ged is able to combine all the technical prowess with lots of groove variations and does it all sounding so effortless. What a pro man! Thanks again Bro :-)

[j3rdog]

Thank you for doing that.

[wnils]

Your welcome j3rdog. :-)

[nairbfry]

Great job, I really like your right hand technique. I have been working on adding my ring finger on my right hand on some songs but it is a chalenge since I have never used that finger in the past.

[wnils]

Thanks again nairbfry!

[SupermassiveKidA]

Wow, thats pretty good! It does look like a fun song to play bass. Rush rocks! Are you going to their concert?

[wnils]

Thanks SupermassiveKidA! and yes, I'll see them in 2 weeks!

[seveertrebor]

Thats real good!...pity youre across the other side of the water we could have jammed! enjoy the concert!

Rob.

[wnils]

Thanks Rob!
