Uncommon artists/groups who used rickenbacker 12s?

dark · October 2008

Everyone knows the Byrds used a rick 12, and that they copped the idea from the Beatles. Then Tom Petty came by and copped it from the Byrds.b,121b,121But just this last week, I heard about a 1970s album by a Chilean group named Sacros that features that rick jangle. Its now one of my favorite albums of the moment.b,121b,121I already know of a few other garage/psych groups that used it: Index, the Bachs, Tea Company.b,121b,121Anyone know any other -not commonly heard of- groups that used this guitar?

If basses count, Motorhead & Rick James

Not exactly obscure, but there's a picture of Cliff Burton of Metallica playing a Ricky, I think on the back of one of the early album covers. I at first thought that it was an unusual choice for the bassist of arguably the heaviest band around. Once I got to know his style better, it made sense.

That SOUNDS like a Rick 12 on the Miracles'"The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage"...don't know for sure if Marv Tarplin is playing a Rick, but it's definitely a 12 (he's said so)...
