Geddy used his Black Rickenbacker 4001 from their first tour in 1974 until the Grace Under Pressure Warm Up Tour in 1983 although he pulled it back out for A Passage To Bangkok on the Snakes & Arrows tour in 2007 and 2008. He can also be seen using it in the introduction video for the Time Machine tour.

Cliff Burton can be seen playing a Rickenbacker 4001 Burgundyglo with a Gibson EB pickup in the bass position, a Seymour Duncan Stacked Jazz pickup in the treble position and a Seymour Duncan Stacked Strat pickup in the bridge. He used this Rickenbacker bass in the recordings of "Kill 'em all" and on parts of "Ride the lightning". Cliff can be seen with the Rickenbacker in pictures from the Kill Em All tour.

Prior to getting his signature model, Lemmy used several Rickenbacker 4000 series basses. As early as his time with Hawkwind, photos show Lemmy with a 4001 in "mapleglo" (natural) finish, already adorned with what appears (an educated guess based on Lemmy's interest in Nazi memorabilia and given the low quality of the photos by today's standards) to be a sticker of a Nazi Reichsadler on the pickguard. https://davidwills.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/bbspeakers03.jpg Later photos and videos show Lemmy with another, altogether more iconic 4001 with a maple fretboard sporting star shaped inlays, a black pickguard and decals or stickers of an iron cross, some stars and the words "Born to lose, out to lunch". Since neither the fretboard nor the pickguard (and certainly not the stickers) were stock features of the Rickenbacker, this instrument was clearly heavily modified or custom. Motorhead's "The Young Ones" appearance, broadcast in May 1984, shows a bass featuring the "Born to lose, out to lunch" sticker, but with different inlays (conventional dots - the lowest three markers are large Nazi-era German air force crosses, but probably not actual inlays given the size and colouration, which includes the white outline) - most likely this same bass was Lemmy's primary instrument at the time and simply accumulated its various decorations over the course of the '80s. Lemmy's bass tech, Tim Butcher, refers in one article to having added a fret to Lemmy's 4004LK signature; it appears the same modification was made to the "out to lunch" Ric - in several photos the fretboard either side of the final, uninlayed 21st fret (the 4001 bass usually has 20, and by the traditional pattern of inlaying the 21st fret would be marked) appears visibly darker than the rest of the board. Additionally, the fretboard extends slightly into what would normally be the pickguard. Supposedly, this extra fret is used for the song Metropolis. Since the recognisable modifications seem to appear in the '80s, and it's difficult to identify it with certainty with any pre-modification basses, it's not entirely clear whether this is, indeed, a 4001 model or a 4003, but given the level of modification it's probably a moot point.

Two images are shown during this video immediately after each other, at 12:29, showing Commerford with two different Rickenbackers, a natural finish one with white binding and an arctic white finish one with what looks to be like an gold-anodised aluminium pickguard and no binding ( seems to be a 4001S model due to the dot inlays ).

And I started playing it. And fell in love and it’s still really hard to beat. I’ve played other basses and they’re nice, but I feel like that sort of touches all the basses, the basses."

Glenn Hughes used this late 1973 (evidenced by the photo being taken in early 1974, but the bass not having the 'toaster' pickup that came on most 1973 basses) Ricky 4001, at Ritchie Blackmore's urging, to record the Burn album and the first few dates of the tour. He then gave it to Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath who used it for a few dates, and now keeps it safe at his home. Glenn has since said he regrets giving it to the Sabbath bassist.

Early fIREHOSE bass, maybe?

Also, right before we started recording, I finally found a 1971 fire-glow Rickenbacker 4001 with “toaster” pickups, and that’s what I used on “Black Heart.”

In this video, specifically at 8:40, we can see him holding his Rickenbacker 4001 Bass, which is quite roadworn and beaten. Other things to note is that he's replaced both pickups with Bartolini Rickenbacker pickups, and replaced the normalky white pickguard with a reflective one. In the video, he says he only uses it for sound checks and other things, but more recently he's been seen using it in stage.

"I have a fantastic Rickenbacker 4001 from the 70's, but its range is limited to rock. I need an overall good sounding bass that'll work for anything. My favorite sounding bass is a P-bass with passive pickups. The natural sound of that bass just sounds right to me for some reason. It fills up the frequencies that I listen for in a bass."

Countless concert appearances also but have used a still from the 'Tarred and Feathered' video
