Like Cream, Rush followed the model of a "[[power trio]]", with Lee playing bass and singing. Lee's vocals produced a distinctive, resonant "[[countertenor]]".<ref name=Bowman /> Lee possessed a three-octave vocal range spanning from baritone through tenor, alto, and [[mezzo-soprano]] pitch ranges; however, his range significantly decreased with age.<ref name=Bowman /> Lee's playing style is widely regarded for his use of high treble and very hard playing of the strings and for utilizing the bass as a lead instrument, often contrapuntal to Lifeson's guitar. In the 1970s and early 1980s, Lee mostly used a [[Rickenbacker 4001]] bass, with a very noticeable grit in his tone. According to Lee, during the band's "synth era" in the mid-1980s, Lee used [[Steinberger]] and later [[Wal (bass)|Wal]] basses, with the latter having more of a "jazzy" tone.<ref>{{Citation|last=mick curry|title=Geddy Lee Interview part 1 of 2|date=April 19, 2010|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wma2NtQ1CIE| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/Wma2NtQ1CIE| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live|access-date=June 18, 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref> From 1993's ''[[Counterparts (Rush album)|Counterparts]]'' onward, Lee began using the [[Fender Jazz Bass]] almost exclusively, returning to his trademark high treble sound. Lee had first used the Jazz Bass to record '' [[Moving Pictures (Rush album)|Moving Pictures]]'' on songs such as "[[Tom Sawyer (song)|Tom Sawyer]]."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Ekje672mo| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/04Ekje672mo| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live|title=Rush's Geddy Lee on his Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass| website=[[YouTube]]|date=April 30, 2015|access-date=September 26, 2015}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
