Please excuse me if this has been done a million times before in various permutations but I was driving into work today and I had Moving Pictures cranked on the stereo and I thought as I was listening to Geddy play that if I had to cite one and only one bassist that influenced me the most it would be him. So, if you had to choose just one who would it be?

If so, Harpo Marx or Celine Dion.
Edit: If it MUST be a bass player, then I am trying hard NOT to sound like all the awful wankers who overslap, overplay & otherwise ruin my GC listening experience. Further, if it MUST BE ONE, then it would be...
I'll come back to this. Gotta think.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Santiago, Chile | | | It's hard indeed to name ONE influence, and I think maybe the only approach for me to answer so hard a question is to name the one who made me pick up the bas, and to whom, from time to time, I go back to, even though a decade anda a half ago I took a very different path towards more experimental rock and stuff.
It's, of course, Steve Harris.
