IE: What is the dream bass you’re still hoping to add?

GL: Well, there are a few specific vintage custom color basses that I’m still looking for. I don’t really have a pre-CBS foam green Fender Jazz bass. It’s all about the greens if you ask collectors. There’s a ‘68 Fender Telecaster bass that was done as part of a duo that celebrates the Summer of Love. One was done in literally [pink] paisley wallpaper, and the other was blue floral wallpaper. The blue floral seems to be a real tough one to find, so I’m still looking for that.

IE: You played the pink paisley on the R40 tour, didn’t you?

GL: Yes, I did. And I had the guitar version, which I loaned to Alex [Lifeson] so he would match. He’s a reluctant vintage guy. I have to provide all the best vintage instruments to him to use (laughs). Anyway, there are a few things out there that I’m still looking for.
