Who are your favorite contemporary Ric bassists

[jdogric12]

Well, if we're throwing ourselves into this list of CONTEMPORARY Rick bassists (some people didn't get the memo?), I used my '73 4001 on this EP, except for the song The Squall, which is my old 4002.

And of course my own stuff has gobs of Ricks:

Well - if we're blowing our own trumpets, here's me with my 1998 4003 (with HB1 in the bridge) recorded in middle position:

Kink's "You Really Got Me"

Paul Wilson and Mike "Teddy" Mills get my vote.

Mark Walker... his tone is pure Rickenbacker and he's a killer player as well

+1

Nice!! Mark is a great player and he'd look "funny" with any other bass but a Rickenbacker in his hands!

If I knew he was this famous, I would have had him autograph his napkin when I met up with him yesterday and shared a cup of coffee and some great conversation!

There's a bassist who sits in with the Smithereens, part-time, who has a nice JetGlo "S" bass

One more to add: Al Cisneros. I've been listening to Sleep a lot lately, and I love his tone and the way he plays.
