4000 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) [quote name='Delberthot' post='372037' date='Jan 6 2009, 02:39 PM']I think 'I'm Rick James Bitch' only posed for the album cover. I heard he didn't really use one. Roger Waters Pete Quaife (Kinks) Donovan John Deacon did use one but had changed to a P before joining Queen Someone on the Rickresource has Maurice Gibb's old white Rick John Entwhistle had one of the first 1999 models Mike Rutherford used a 4080 double neck in Genesis, Geddy also used a 4080.[/quote] Rick James used it occasionally, just preferred his Stingray. Andy Winters has Maurice's old bass. Mike didn't use a 4080, he had his doubleneck put together from a separate bass and guitar. Glenn Hughes used one briefly, as did Geezer Butler; Neil Brewer of Druid used one (I know 'cause i've played it), as did Jon Camp of Renaissance, as did Dave Meros (Spock's Beard), as did whatsisname ?!) from Wishbone Ash, Stanley Clarke (a 4000), Pete Trewavas from Marillion.....have we got Roger Waters? Mike Rutherford also played an RM1999. Doubtless there are loads of others I've temporarily forgotten...oh, the bloke from Manfred Mann is another (my memory fails me regarding his name and I can't be bothered looking it up).

JoeS Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Al Cisneros (Sleep/Om) Russell Leetch (Editors) I think Gordon Moakes has used one on in the studio for Bloc Party as well, although I've only ever seen him using Precisions live. Quote
KevB Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Glenn Hughes for a while after he initially replaced Glover in Purple. Didn't like it apparently and switched to Fenders. Think he plays Vigiers now, as does Glover (but different models). Pete Trewavas in Marillion played a ric in the early days. In fact loads of neo prog bands in the early 80's had ric players in them as a result of Squire and Rutherford. Wasn't Rutherford's original doubleneck actually 2 separate rics lashed together before they brought out a propr official Ric twin neck? Edited January 7, 2009 by KevB Quote

KevB Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Sorry 4000, I just saw the big chunk you'd quoted from someone else and skipped your post with the Hughes et al details. That'll teach me. It's a few years back I saw Glenn so he's obviously switched again, was definitely on Vigiers not all that long ago, might even been an endorsee. I think he used Fernandes for a while too much longer ago but straying off the point. Anyone catching the 'prog at the bbc' on BBC4 would have seen Martin Turner using a ric on that clip of WA. If we're gpoing for obscure players has anyone mentioned Martin Gordon? Quote
4000 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 No probs mate, I do the same all the time! Glenn was using Vigier, then Manne, but he gets around a bit with his endorsements..... Quote

I mentioned I'd recently started teaching myself bass and without batting an eyelid he asked if I wanted a go on his main gigging ric! I only played on it unplugged sat on the drummers stool but it was a cool moment. Edited February 1, 2013 by KevB Quote
