Dude,
Roger Glover played a Fender Precision bass
In Purple , Glen Hughes played the Rickenbacker |
Um - I beg to differ...
Mind you, he does play a Precision these days... |
And he did also back then (a sunburst) if I remember some pics on the inside gatefold of Machine Head.
But for some reason on sunday morning at the cybercafe, I could not edit my post (or even delete it), because I remembered that he did play also the Rickenbecker.
Apologies.

and I also have to add my old buddy Phil who played in a band I was associated with many years ago. . We nicked named him "Strong Eyed and Bingy". One day he leaned forward instead of backwards when the flash pots went off. He lost half of his afro. He did manage to keep the "Ricky" safe though.

Really Cliff Burton? All these years of listening to Metallica and I never recognized the Rickenbacker sound.
And Oh my Starcastle sharing a simularity with Yes, the apocalypse must be upon us.

Well, the recent Rickenbacker Lemmy limited edition signature model was
a very neat-looking bass. Walnut body, with oak leaves and acorns
carved in it. Almost looked like a piece of furniture from the 19th
century, which was pretty cool if you ask me. However, Lemmy himself is
hardly cool, in my opinion of course, and musically he can't be
compared with any of the in the poll mentioned persons.
