His period with his Rickenbacker 4001 bass was outstanding !
Apologies. And of course it goes to say Geddy has to be in the list of all time best bass players.

Recognizable tone..........Terrific player. A very individual style and instantly recognisable tone.
This is bass playing brought to the highest level possible.I'll also add Michael Manring to my list.
Recognizable tone..........
I agree I would say 99%........
First time they played Working man from Rush in the U.S. on a local rock station, people were calling on the phone to get the name of this new album from..........Led Zeppelin !
Not a bad start at all though.
Celestion Ditton 15 : we were listening to Pink Floyd Meddle on these when we were 17 and were stunned by the bass depth and impact ! Nice souvenirs..............Recognisable tone to his vocals 'n all! A mate had Spirit of Radio B/W Trees IIRC 12" single... 15-16 years old. Technics SLB2, EPC270C, JVC JAS11G, Celestion Ditton 15XR's... Ah yes...

Although the excellent British Bass player Danny Thompson has been mentioned a few times no one has mentioned Dave Green who has played with most of the great British Jazz musicians from the early sixties onwards and was the choice of American Jazz greats such Ben Webster, Sonny Rollins and Roland Kirk when they performed at Ronnie Scott's.
