Spirit of Radio, Rush, Bass, Modulus, love this song and its feel. One of the best drum vs bass songs I have ever heard... locked together incredibly well. I can play this far better than what resulted here. I also skip the higher E-note (octave) because I never liked it live when I played this in a band. I just forget, nowadays, to add it in. I generally get the ending far smoother than here.. also I used to use a compressor (EBS) live to really make the end perfect. I don't use a compressor anymore. I was asked to play this live and instead of driving all the way to an audition, I wanted to put this up first, see what the people thought, then decide. Thank you for watching (it went well and we are playing).

Do you mind me asking why you chose to use the funk-style bass instead of the Geddy Lee signature it looks like in the background?

honestly.. it is playability.. even live, I am starting to realize I really do not like the Geddy Lee bass.. Geddy's is a US-made bass from 1970s.. the Japanese models.. are noisy, clunky, and just.. not my cup of tea.. at least mine is not. overall.. I use my Geddy bass, live, as a dropD bass only..

i do not like that bass either. its kind of heavy and you're right its not fun at all to play. i've played 2 and they are both like that.

I hate to say it.. but the bass sucks.. it's not worth even $300 to me.. and consider that Fender (on crack) is charging $1200+ for this piece of crap bass.. it's amazing. .sorry, but it really irks me.. and I got a good deal on the bass.. it looks nice.. that much I will say.. but otherwise.. it's useless.
