Which song(s) do you LOVE playing on your Ric?
I don't play bass, but I'd like to hear some answers from people...

I enjoy playing lots of pieces of music, and it's really hard to narrow it all down, but the ones that most often bring a smile to my face would be:
Rush -
Xanadu
Rush -
Jacob's Ladder
Yes -
Something's Coming
Yes -
Close to the Edge
Yes -
Soundchaser
Genesis -
Watcher of the Skies
'Mainstream' is my middle name, of course.

Tori Amos, "Professional Widow"... for some reason that was the first song I busted out on my first Ric and I IMMEDIATELY knew this was the bass for me. It sounded perfect.

When I'm noodling or warming up, I usually end up playing Roundabout or some Zeppelin (Ten Years Gone or What Is And What Should Never Be).

OK, I'll be a little more specific.
Rush has a lot of fun stuff, Distant Early Warning, YYZ, The Trees, Tom Sawyer
Lots of stuff by Yes, Roundabout is great
Various stuff by Pink Floyd, One of These Days (playing with the echo is great fun!)
A bit more modern would be Third Eye Blind - Semi-charmed life
Numerous Tom Petty tunes
Uh, this could take
WAY too long...

South Side of the Sky has always been a favorite of mine, as well as Yours is No Disgrace.
I've been brushing up on early REM tunes like Can't Get There From Here and Fall on Me...
Of course there are all those Beatles tunes also.
