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.
