a bass playing friend said that when he was a youngster he was really impressed with Chris Squire and how he completely manhandled this bass, doing such prog-rocky athletics bass lines and created a whole new sound for Yes.  Then he found out that Squire used a Rickenbocker bass that was much smaller than my friend's Fender bass, and he was like "aw, man.. no wonder!"

kudos for YYZ, eh?
