NancyJohnson Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Morning! Some of you might be interested in nice recent interview with Geddy over on [url="http://www.bassplayer.TV"]Bass Player TV[/url]. It's in three parts, an interview, a five/six minute piece with Geddy and his basses (all Jazz, all Signature/vintage/custom shop stuff - I was simply drooling at that bit) and a further five/six minute piece with his tech, showing his rack and the basses again.

bassboy115 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Legend! Does he literally just get a piece of sand paper to the neck to remove the finish? Does anybody do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Very interesting watch - but that's not [i]all[/i] his basses though. They don't mention the fact he's playing the Rick again on this tour. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to a vintage neck, though - the neck on his main bass finally wore out and has been replaced with a neck from one of his signature basses.

Bassassin Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 [i]Bass Player[/i] now has a pretty long & interesting interview with Ol' Bignose online here: [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/story.asp?sectioncode=21&storycode=19053"]http://www.bassplayer.com/story.asp?sectio...storycode=19053[/url] I concur wholeheartedly with his observations about playing fretless!

Marcus Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Fretless and FRETTED Jaco Bass...... Oh to just have the Fender Custom shop at your command !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Absolute star, and seemed very down to earth as well. I have an idea that if I phoned Fender up and asked them to send me a Jaco to try, they might just tell me to get stuffed. Got the new album and not really got into it yet, I prefer the older synthy stuff. Nice interview though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 [quote name='brycebites' post='42735' date='Aug 8 2007, 08:31 AM']Johngh - it sneeks up on you. The first time I listened to it was in the car, so no the best place to hear everything and it didn't grab me at all. Another few listens at home and I was still struggling with some of the tracks. I came back to it after a few weeks and it was grabbing me. Put it on yesterday and I can finally say I like it all. What you would call a grower.[/quote] Thanks mate, Albums that take a bit of getting into are normally the best ones in the end. I need to get it away from the car and onto the HI-FI.
