Hi!

Sorry for the "bassgeek" thread but I'm collecting information about Rickenbacker players in prog rock and I thought you could help me Wink
I'm talking about the famous 4001 or 4003 models by Rickenbacker :


So the obvious ones :

Chris Squire


Mike Rutherford

I can't find a pic of him with his single neck Rick...

Geddy Lee


Dave Meros


Kristian Karl Hultgren (Wobbler)


Pete Trewavas


Jan Erik Liljeström (Anekdoten)

Any other ideas? Wink

Remember, just because they have used a bass doesn't mean they use it all or even most of the time. Righ now Roger Waters and Geddy Lee both have signature Fender basses out.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Sorry to be predicatable, only it has to be Chris Squire - no contest!

Thank you very much. I bought that bass from North Carolina in the USA in 2005 when I helped to form a Wishbone Ash tribute band. The was borrowed by Martin Turner (of Wishbone Ash) to record his cd Argus Through The Looking Glass by Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash, (available from his website or gigs) so it has a nice history. That is why it say's thanks to Tony Clark on the inside sleeve notes.
The picture is me playing in my Budgie tribute band In For The Kill, live at the Draycott Rock and Bike Festival in Derbyshire UK in 2009. The bass was made in January 1975.
