Chris Squire 1948-2015 - Geddy Lee comments

Today we learned of the passing of Yes bassist and co-founder Chris Squire.  Geddy Lee has expressed his sentiments on Rush.com:
“Although we never met, I’m so sorry to hear about Chris Squire from Yes passing. As a bass player and innovator on the instrument he was a huge inspiration to me. Simply put, he was one of the greatest rock bassists of all time. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.” — Geddy Lee

  1. I saw him on the 83 tour. I was not only impressed by his bass chops, but his harmony with Jon Anderson was incredible. I'm wondering if Geddy will comment on the use of the Ricky 4001, was it inspired by Squire ?
    See you in Phoenix, Mark
