Or Paul McCartney when he fronted Wings. We're skipping over the easy one.
Great contributions. Glenn Matlock from the Pistols...such a great melodic player. Shame he didn't stay with them
I did mention him...as an example of what not to submit
I love Geddy and Macca but the phenomenon I'm referring to here is when a bassist who isn't known for playing a Rick plays it publicly, either as a one-off or on rare occasions.
My Stick is a Ric. You guys can use that going-forward... ( someone had to thought of that before, right? right? )
Chris Wolstenholme (Muse).
In action:
Love those tasty high notes in the beginning of the riff. Sounds very good on a Rick.
Two bassists, one bass. As I understand it, Geezer Butler owned this Rickenbacker and then gave it to Glenn Hughes.

He was doing hi fi back then
2,000 Watt Crown amp and crossover with JBL Cabs and Altec-Lansing Horns.
Rare indeed!Steve Priest (Sweet - played various basses but mostly a Jazz)
John Lodge - The Moody Blues (usually always plays Fender or FSO)

Good ole Lou in his 'Androgen' Days with 'Village People Like' Band. I have every LP he made including VU.
