Absolutely! It seems every bassist I know has at least tried to nail a Rush song at some point. It’s a must in our community!

Geddy’s use of effects is also a huge part of his sound. That blending of synths with bass guitar offers a unique texture that many contemporary players still chase after.
Yes! It’s like he created another dimension to the bass. I love when bands incorporate that approach!
Honestly, I think some bassists might feel intimidated by Geddy’s sound. It’s so iconic that they might think they can never reach that level of musicianship.
That can be true, but I believe his style should be seen as inspiration. We should celebrate our own unique sounds instead!
It’s kind of humorous when you think how some people just try to mimic his sound entirely. Not every bassist needs to sound like Geddy to be great!
Definitely! We all have our strengths, but it’s fun to throw in a little Geddy influence here and there.
Thinking back on Geddy’s contributions makes me reflective. Each time I listen to Rush, it’s like a lesson in bass playing, and the joy of music comes flooding back.
