Rush – Snakes & Arrows

Geddy used his Black Rickenbacker 4001 from their first tour in 1974 until the Grace Under Pressure Warm Up Tour in 1983 although he pulled it back out for A Passage To Bangkok on the Snakes & Arrows tour in 2007 and 2008. He can also be seen using it in the introduction video for the Time Machine tour.

Geddy uses the "relic'd" version of this bass on the track "Malignant Narcissism" off of their Snakes & Arrows album in 2007.

In an interview included in this post, it is explained that this is the microphone used on snakes and arrows for vocals.

Geddy Lee collaborated with Tech 21 to create the Tech 21 Geddy Lee DI-2112 Signature SansAmp Preamp Pedal, which he uses during live performances, including "Snakes & Arrows," "Live in Rio," and will use on the 2026 tour.

Geddy Lee's use of the AMS Neve 1081 Mic Preamp & Equalizer is confirmed through the recording techniques described in Eric Hansen's article, "The Recording Techniques Behind Snakes & Arrows," published in EQ, September 2007. It is noted that engineer Richard Chycki recorded each direct line through a Neve 1081 preamp as part of the signal chain, which also included a Tech 21 SansAmp DI, a Palmer Speaker Simulator, and a Martech MSS-01 Bass DI, along with Universal Audio LA-2 compressors.

According to Eric Hansen in the article "The Recording Techniques Behind Snakes & Arrows" from EQ, September 2007, Geddy Lee's signal chain included the use of Universal Audio Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifiers.
