john camp. renaissance. monster.
Lemmy used it as a rhythm guitar. Apples and pears
Al Cisneros has a signature model, please get into that in some episode and try to please comment on Sleep´s and Om´s (the bands) tone used by Al. Thank you
Lemmy all the way
Not necessarily the best, but definitely a strong, inventive, and often forgotten Rick player,
Bruce Foxton of The Jam
Also, The Gas Frog image is hysterical.
Keep up the great work guys!
Please please please lemme win one of your tasty basses. I will be forever grateful!
Chris Square, never was a good bass player, mediocre as Rick Wakeman say , many times to the press , also a Narcisist and very gelous gay(typical homosexual) no realy a good person. Lemmy are very limited , but he got talent , Macartney , a top front man and very good bass player.
It's Bruce Foxton
My top 3 rickenbacker bassists:
Lemmy
Al Cisneros
Cliff
Haven’t found anyone commenting on this, but wasn’t Taxman’s bass played by George, while Paul played lead guitar?
BRUCE FOXTON
Chris Squire.
John was known to jump of stage and bash people badmouthing the beatles…
Geddy has the best sound !!!
It's no contest. Macca and Lemmy have their own separate styles.
In addition to Sir Paul and Paul D'Amour, another worthy mention is Paul Goddard from Atlanta Rhythm Section. Not sure if he is already in the comments or not, but definitely a worthy player.
No honourable mention for Bruce Foxton?
Chris Squire!
Is Lemmy a guitar layer first, yes. Before Hawkwind, he was Jimmy Hedrick’s UK/EU tour tech
I am always amazed to find that when you mention Macca, you never target his best bass lines on Rickenbaker. As if the Wings period completely escaped you …
Chris Squire.
lemmy is greater, but mccartney is smarter
Me.
It's a draw between Geddy and Cliff for me. The influence of Geddy can clearly be heard in Cliff's playing……Just listen to some of the crazy stuff Geddy does in By-Tor & the Snow Dog and you can hear where Anaesthesia comes from.
Macca doesn't play a Rickenbacker 4001 v63, but a 1964 4001s with the neck and headstock turned over. The modern version is 4001 c64
Chris's sound really came from the use of Rotosound strings. They would destroy your frets and warp your neck. The 4003 was designed with stainless steel frets and 2 truss rods to compensate. I have seen Chris live using a Fender on some songs. He can afford the frets job I guess.
Mcaca first round K.O…..
