RUSH’S GEDDY LEE PICKS HIS TOP 5 BASSISTS FOR MUSICRADAR…

Posted on July 16, 2012


RUSH
‘s Geddy Lee picked his five favourite bassists of all time for MusicRadar recently as well as explaining why he rates them so highly. See who he picked below:

Jack Casady
“Back in the early days, Jack Casady. I thought he was probably one of the most inventive players I’d ever heard and was really the reason I fell in love with Jefferson Airplane.”

Jack Bruce

“Jack Bruce of course was my hero when I first started playing. Just him coming out with that bluesy, jazzy style on bass and he brought a kind of aggressive tone to the Cream.”

Chris Squire
“Chris Squire is incredibly inventive and imaginative writer of bass melodies. He’ll always be a pinnacle of great bass players.”

Jeff Berlin
“He’s more of a jazz bass player now but he used to play kind of fusion, rock and jazz with Bill Bruford on Bill’s solo records. Bruford was a fantastic band and Jeff is still among the top bass players out there, different calibre, he’s just off the planet.”

Les Claypool
“We must not forget Les Claypool from Primus. A true style-seeking venture on bass, really original, an incredible player and he’s influenced me with his attitude towards bass playing.”
