I know there are many others, but I'll stick with these four...
My vote goes for Geddy Lee !

Geddy Lee is my favorite bass player but For Rickenbaker sound Chris Squire is "The Rickenbaker".

I love Geddy, Chris and Dave meros' work. I havn't heard much deep purple.
You're probably thinking of Alan Morse, Neal's brother, who plays guitar, not bass, in Spock's Beard.
I went with the Fish because he is the most melodic and innovative of the them in my opinion. Geddy is next ,almost as equal as Chris, but he is more spontaneous and random/ not as melodic as Chris. I was suprised when learning Closer to the Heart the other day, that Geddy can make a radio-hit power ballad just as difficult to play as Cygnus-X1 or other technical songs. Dave is really good too, but he is more like a Geddy and Chris combo and itsn't quite as original.
Rickenbackers are probably my favorite sounding bass and, being a bass player myself, are very temping to buy, though a 4003 would be around 1,200 USD, which I don't have. Ironically, Chris, Geddy, and Dave are my top 3 bass players, at least for prog, and they all use Rics.

Actually, Mike Rutherford of Genesis didn't do too shabby with his Rickenbacker double neck 12 string/bass! should be on the list up there. Didn't vote. Sorry...

Cos they got his name wrong I passed over Dave Meros who would have got my vote. Instead it went to Mr. Glover.

DOH!!!!! I thought you were a Rickenbacker fan hahaha..... that's Lemmy and a 4004 Rick

I said I was a fan of the basses, I didn't say I knew everyone who used them  . Besides, I have heard little or no Motorhead and didn't know he played a ric.

Chris Squire is THE Rick player... Hey guys, Paul McCartney also played a Rickenbacker (you can see him at the "Magical Mystery Tour" movie - but he actually played one on this album sessions).
