Lastly but not leastly in the flats category, David Paton of Pilot - Magic as they say. Mr P also played on Kate Bush's first album and although alledgedly the bass on Wuthering Heights was played by producer Andrew Powell, it sounds suspiciously like Paton's Rick to me and indeed Paton says he played on it - funny old world.

Cheers

Nice to see someone name checking David Paton , Ed!

A very underrated player , and Pilot were such a clever band with beautifully crafted songs and intricate studio production. They remind me in so many ways of XTC in that respect, but XTC seem to get a lot more critical recognition, and Pilot were doing it a decade earlier. Pilot's guitarist, Ian Bairnson, is a different class, too. Last I heard, David was living back up in Scotland and playing with some local bands.

I think the thread needs more Foxton.

And an interesting one - check out Barry Adamson's modified Rick (with a Peavey T-40 in the neck position) on Magazine's 'Definitive Gaze' (an ace tune!)

You want Rick "clank"?
[/quote]

Wow, that one takes the clank pretty far! Did he always sound like that, or is he using the Ric-o-Sound outputs and they forgot to mic the bass side of the rig?

That's the only one I've ever seen him sound like that, there is other YT footage fo the same song with the same bass which sounds OK, so I'm guessing it's a tech problem, you could well be right with the outputs.
Steve Priest does sometimes post on the website linked in the vid - but he seems to be quite precious most of the time, so while you could ask him I doubt he'd answer. Though he did once ask me what the bass is that I had in a profile pic then.

And another great choice - one of my all time favourite tunes. Pretty much any Stone Roses track could get a mention in this thread - She Bangs the Drums, Waterfall, Made of Stone, Ten Story Love Song are all great Ric bass lines

In fact, Ten Story Love Song deserves a link!

Also The Hives - Hate To Say I Told You So (mainly for the bass face in the solo!):

Hate to say I told you so but that Hives track is a P bass...

My choices (apart from the obvious Rush/Yes selections):

And loads more I'll probably remember later.

Time for some Half Man Half Biscuit - Neil Crossley's used his white Rick throughout HMHB's career - some clank, some thump and other tones. There are a lot of smashing basslines from Neil.

Sorry, but despite what Geddy Lee is playing in the video, he is 100% adamant that the recording is actually his Jazz.
