Chris Squire on NPR rant

What are you guys complaining about?
The bass tone in OOALH is fantastic, punchy and aggressive, it drives the whole song, supporting the main riff.
It is a great song, well constructed with all its synthy breaks out of nowhere and indeed, Yes's biggest hit that everyone can relate to.

The NPR report boasted Chris' signature Rickenbacker tone---- my comments were not about the song, but the nature of the report.
