Geddy Lee to Release Book About History of the Bass Guitar

Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass will be published on Dec. 4, and features the stories behind 250 famous and rare basses, as well as interviews with some of the instrument's most famous players.

"It's not surprising that sooner or later I'd dive down the proverbial rabbit hole into the world of vintage bass guitars,"

Please talk amongst yourselves. I'm feeling a little verklempt.

Cool. Looking forward to it.

I'm totally Geddyng that book.

 

[Diamond_Dave]

Wait, where did he say Rush was getting back together?

I'm totally Geddyng that book.

You bet your Life,son.

First time I heard about this. I'm getting a little slow hooking up with info on my home town boys; I'm in FL now, but was born and raised in and around Pearts' home town area of St. Catharines, as well as "journeying into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer" (aka, Toronto/Yorkville/Don Mills, etc.) for some gigs.

Seriously looking forward to that book! I will be interested to see if Mr. Lee puts any of his perspective on things or plays it as a strictly biographical account on things.

 

[Watchootognbout]

Will there be bass info that has never been printed before?

 

[Michedelic]

I thought that Tony Bacon had pretty much nailed everything.

 

[Fathand]

I won't Rush to get it, but it will be in my Limelight at some point.

 

[5StringBlues]

^ I see What You're Doing.

 

[Fishheadjoe]

The book will be a working man's take on things... and probably cost big money.

[Les Fret]

I would rather have that he wrote a book about his technique and playing.

 

[descendent22]

I'm totally Geddyng that book.

Lmao.corny

 

[Deadworks]

Is this going to be a single volume or will there be multiple perts to it?

 

[StevieMac]

I've pre-ordered a copy. Looking forward to it.

 

[Nashrakh]

I'm not sold on this. From the title you'd expect a complete history of the instrument family, and not just trivia and interviews about 250 of them.

If this was about the history of bass guitar as a whole, it would be a no-brainer. But this? Only of minor relevance to someone looking for the big picture, I would think.

 

[consectaneus]

There are 250 famous and rare basses?

In any case I like that Geddy is letting his inner bass geek out.

Not familiar with how the book industry works, eh?
