Transcript: "First Bass Men: Rush's Geddy Lee And Primus' Les Claypool" - Guitar World, June 1992

A Guitar World feature story from June 1992 - Primus fans, you'll love this one: "First Bass Men: Rush's Geddy Lee And Primus' Les Claypool". The bass players are interviewed together during the 'Roll The Bones' tour, and talk about their influences, what shaped their styles and tone, their early recordings, etc. Ged also tells Les the secret of what Les said his his ultimate goal, 'the Moving Pictures tone': Ged states it is simply his Jazz bass he found in a pawn shop for $170, and Les guesses how Geddy ruined the sound of his Precision bass - by cutting it into a tear-drop shape. - Thanks to Dave Ward for the transcript and Joe Sterle for the images.
