Cheap Trick feature both 8 and 12 string basses on a fair number of songs on albums.

The King's X song 'I Pretend' has a very prominent 12 string bass part, with a little break in there somewhere which really shows off the tone.

All of the LIVE AT BUDOKAN album
DON'T BE CRUEL and WRONG SIDE OF LOVE have killer 12 string playing
