Re: Who are your favorite contemporary Ric bassists
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.

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

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!

Re: Who are your favorite contemporary Ric bassists
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.
