Rush equipment
The musical equipment used by the members of Rush have changed many times over the years. The following is a catalog of the gear they have used or are currently using. Geddy Lee. Geddy Lee's main bass is a black 1972 Fender Jazz Bass he bought from a pawn shop in Kalamazoo, Michigan for $200 (US$ in dollars). It was used to record the albums "Permanent Waves", "Moving Pictures", "Signals", "Counterparts", "Test for Echo", "Vapor Trails", "Feedback", "Snakes and Arrows", and "Clockwork Angels". Since 1994, it has been Lee's main bass for live and studio  work. Lee modified it with a Leo Quan BadAss II Bridge, and the original neck had to be replaced before the Snakes & Arrows Tour. In 1998, Fender began production on the Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Bass, modeled after his 1972 Jazz Bass. It is still in production, and sunburst was added as a color choice in 2009. In 2015, Fender released a revised USA model with several changes made to it, many of which reflected the changes Lee made to his own instrument. Another prominent instrument of Lee's is a black Rickenbacker 4001, which he used for live and  studio work from 1975 to 1984. In 2007 and 2008, Lee used this bass for the song "A Passage to Bangkok" on the Snakes & Arrows Tour.

Drums. With Rush, Peart has played Slingerland, Tama, Ludwig, and Drum Workshop drums, in that order. Citation: Cymbals. Historically Peart has played Zildjian A-series cymbals along with Wuhan china cymbals. In the early 2000s, Peart moved away from Zildjian and Wuhan and began exclusively using Paragon, a line created for him by Sabian. In concert, Peart uses an elaborate 360-degree drum kit measuring 9' X 9', with  a large acoustic set in front and electronic drums to the rear. The kit stands on a rotating riser that allows Peart to access different sections as needed and still face front as he plays. Sabian
