Bass guitar heroes don’t get much bigger than Geddy Lee. Although he ‘crossed the floor’ to Fender more years ago than even he cares to remember, the metallic clang of his Rickenbacker 4001 has pierced the minds of millions.
For Lee, laying down the basslines for Rush has certainly had its ups and downs. “I’m a fairly obnoxious bass player,” he told BP in 2007. “I don’t think my bass playing style is very typical. I always want my bass louder in the mix. You bassists who think your bass isn’t loud enough, you’re right!”
