Geddy was the first to have a Rickenbacker Double-Neck,I believe.

Actually , I also think that Rutherford had one before him. It was a 12 strings and bass too.
|
Yeah,could be right about that Sean!
What I should have said that Geddy was the first to have a 4001 double-neck.I seem to remember he said he had a custom job made specially for him,but cant locate documentary evidence.
Says Ged:
"I also use a custom Rickenbacker double-neck guitar-bass, the bass is a model 4001 and the guitar is a standard Rickenbacker twelve string with humbucking pickups.."
He also used a double-neck Rickenbacker, incorporating 4001 with six-string guitar on the Moving Pictures Tour.

I saw recently a fun foto (but the comments were depicting prog) of both Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson playing double nech guitars (Lifeson's was a white Gibson SG if I remember well)
How about John Paul Jones's triple neck guitar?!?!

I do believe that Mike Rutherford had one of the first Rickenbaker double necks. Check photos from the Gabriel era!

That's what my first thought was. Thanks Reed.
|
Actually, on 'Xanadu' Geddy plays a double neck bass and 12-string electric guitar. During the very last section, he plays some arpeggios on 12-string while Lifeson delivers the final melodic lines.
|
Thanks, I was just about to ask in which part of Xanadu does Geddy play the guitar.

That was the guitar that he was using, different picture (it was a moving picture, really- no pun intended though- because it was a clip in the Limelight video) though.
