For me Chris Squire's the defining Rickenbacker player, not only because he's the reason I ever picked up the instrument in the first place but also the instrument seemed designed for him. When I think of the Rickenbacker sound I think of bright, zingy sounding treble with a small amount of overdrive/saturation. That's his tone, and that's the Rickenbacker sound.

There are plenty of other bass riffs from Yes tracks that would put Chris at No.1 but maybe too difficult for others to replicate. Only he could pull them off. RIP.

Normally, when you go and see a band - you come away going, “they were amazing - they’re so tight live”. Seeing The Stone Roses live was completely the opposite. They were so loose…. They’d play a few bars, at the end of the section Reni would launch into a big fill with loads of toms and Squire and Mani would just sort of hang around at the end of the bar for Reni to catch up and drop back into the groove. There was so much push and pull between the band. Totally different experience to watching a super-tight, metronomic band.

As much as I love Geddy's Ricky tone (still his best one over the Jazz), Chris Squire to me is the definitive Ricky player. He truly made that bass sing when he split both pickups into different amps to what was essentially the precursor to Ric-O-Sound/stereo function for the later 4003 basses!

Chris Squire is the reason I started playing bass. He's also the reason I am in love with the Rick. Paul McCartney and Geddy Lee also played the Rick from time to time. But Squire is the definitive Rick player. I was fortunate enough to see him perform about a dozen times between 1973 and 2013. Every time it was obvious he loved to perform. He was having a blast every time. I was so aggrieved when he went to the great gog in the sky. RIP. Still my musical hero.

My current Rickenbacker is a blonde 4003S that’s been retrofitted with a number of older style parts to make it look like a 60’s era Rick. It’s also been converted to stereo. It’s a fun bass to play!

The fact that you had the cheek to rank them made me laugh out loud and ALMOST forgive the endless behs gag AND the boring top 2. Nice video. Thanks!

Awesome. Love it. Rickys are the tone masters and it was ace to see Becky Baldwin's name in there.

FInally, a reference to Geddy Lee that isn't Tom Sawyer or Red Barchetta! Farewell to Kings is a stacked record front to back. I basically learned how to play bass on Cinderella Man!

Scott Pilgrim's bass solo wasn't actually recorded with the Rickenbacker. They used the Ric for the vegan bassist's parts.
