Who did Geddy Lee replace as Rush's bassist?

  • Jeff Jones

  • John Rutsey

  • Bill Martin

  • Rick Allen

Answer

Jeff Jones was the original bassist for Rush, but he was replaced by Geddy Lee in 1974. Lee had been the band's lead singer and keyboardist, but he took over on bass after Jones left. Lee's powerful and melodic bass playing became a defining characteristic of Rush's sound, and he has been widely recognized as one of the greatest bassists in rock music.
