About this product

Product Information

Globe and Mail National Bestseller It's not surprising that sooner or later I'd dive down the proverbial rabbit hole into the world of vintage bass guitars. -Geddy Lee From Rush frontman Geddy Lee's personal collection of vintage electric bass guitars, dating from the 1950s to the 1980s, comes the definitive volume on the subject. Geddy's love of the bass has been nurtured over a lifetime spent in the limelight as one of the world's premier rock bassists. For the past seven years, he's dedicated himself to studying the history of the instrument that's been so essential to his career, collecting hundreds of basses from around the globe. Written with arts journalist Daniel Richler, gorgeously photographed in breathtaking detail by Richard Sibbald, and with insight from Geddy's trusted bass tech and curator, John Skully McIntosh, Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass profiles over 250 classic basses from Geddy's extensive collection. Representing every tone in the bass palette, every nuance of the rock and roll genre as well as blues, jazz, pop, and country, this one-of-a-kind collection features so-called beauty queens -pristine instruments never lifted from their cases-as well as road warriors -well-worn, sweat-soaked basses that proudly show their age and use. Complete with personal commentary from Geddy that showcases his knowledge both as a musician and an aficionado, this luxuriously produced volume is a revelatory look at the heavy hitters in the world of bass-Fender, Gibson/Epiphone, Rickenbacker, Hoefner, Ampeg-and lesser known but influential global luthiers such as Antonio Wandr Pioli, Dan Armstrong, and Tony Zemaitis. The book also features interviews with John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin); Adam Clayton (U2); Robert Trujillo (Metallica); Jeff Tweedy (Wilco); Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones); Les Claypool (Primus); Bob Daisley (Rainbow); Fender expert and owner of the legendary Gibson Explorer, Bass Ken Collins; veteran guitar tech for The Who, Alan Rogan; plus comments from many other great players across three decades of rock and roll. Written in Geddy's singular voice, this book reveals the stories, songs, and history behind the instruments of his inimitable collection. Complete with an index and a graphically designed timeline of the history of the bass, as well as an up-close look at Geddy's basses on Rush's final R40 Tour, his stage and recording gear from 1968 to 2017, and forewords by author and respected vintage expert, Terry Foster, and Rush band member, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass is the ultimate compendium for the consummate collector, musician, Rush fan, and anyone who loves the bass guitar.

      Title says it all.

      Brilliant large format heavy book highly recommended to any Geddy Lee, Rush or bass player. It's exactly what it says in the title. And at a great price too.

    • Heavy!

      This colorful tome is nearly nine pounds of incredible photographs and very readable text concerning the electric bass, the workhorse of every rock band and bottom and driving force of most other musical aggregations. You may wonder if there are any old basses left in the world after viewing Geddy Lee’s collection. It’s a great limited edition that probably cost a million dollars to publish. Worth every cent.

    • Big, beautiful and heavy.

      It’s big, beautiful and like Geddy’s playing, very heavy. A remarkably specialised publication for the mainstream market. I suspect quite a few will use it as a bookshelf curiosity but the serious bass nerd will be engrossed. The only downside is the realisation that you unlikely to ever see these magnificent works of art in the wood, let alone play or own one. Still, you can look and dream. It’s like being a kid again.
