Chris Squire is THE MAN... He is so innovative and a has a great playing style... Sings
well too Thumbs Up
 
Just curious... Does that guitarist from Focus (I can't bother to remember dutch names.. sorry) play a Rick? It sounds like a rick to me... but sortof different... His sound is definitely unique, so I was just wondering what guitar he uses...

both bassists... Ruiter and Havermanns played Fenders... remember Greg Lake had a similar tone to Squire in that it was very treble jacked... but played a jazz bass.

Dude,
 
Roger Glover played a Fender Precision bass
 
In Purple , Glen Hughes played the Rickenbacker

I said I was a fan of the basses, I didn't say I knew everyone who used them Wink.

Besides, I have heard little or no Motorhead and didn't know he played a ric.

Lemmy played with Hawkwind (on the albums "Doremi Fasol Latido", "Space Ritual", "Hall of the Mountain Grill" and "Warrior on the Edge of Time") before Motorhead were founded. In fact "Motorhead" is a Hawkwind song.

thanks Friede... I should have recognized that if he didn't recognize who Lemmy was.. in spite of all the hints that were in that pictureWink.. that he might not have known about Lemmy and Hawkwind.  Quite a character Lemmy is isn't he LOL

I vote Squire.  Dave Meros from Spock's Beard is a good player, but he's not in the poll.
 
I as a bassist hate Rickenabackers, and I have always wondered why so many great players use them and put up with such awful tone.  The basses sound fragile and distorted.  There are so many better options, especially for the price.

I love the way Squire romanced the bass instead of just playing it. The tones he could pull... the way he could harmonize on the fly... absolutely amazing.

My favourite Rickenbacker player is not on that list...Wink  BTW, out of it I voted for Chris, though Geddy is one of my all-time favourite bassists. Lately he uses the Fender Jazz Bass more than the Rick, though - I even saw a very funny ad on a music mag, where Geddy said "thank you for making my bottom so big"!LOL

I've never really decided if I like Squire or Lee more as bassists, but in terms of the Rickenback sound I have to go with Squire hands down.

I subscribe to the magazine Bass Player, and I laughed everytime I saw that Fender add.  Only Geddy could make a comment like that.
