What are your favorite Prog instruments? You don't have to be a musician to answer (if you know the instruments... or even just point out a part in a song you like if you don't know what instrument it is).
I love ALL Prog keyboards naturally (Mellotrons, Arps, Moog, Hammond etc.). But, I also love the old Rickenbacker 4001 bass which Mike Rutherford, Chris Squire and Geddy Lee used. I'm not much of a bass player personally although I like to have certain instruments around in the studio for others to play. I had a Ricky 4001 in 1994 which I sold to Stan Cotey so he could play the ideal bass sound when we did "The Lamb" with Giraffe. I never should have sold it though! Glad to say I just picked up a 1973 Ricky 4001 for a really good deal. Ahhhhhhhh. That clunky chunky mofo is back in my life!
I saw Kerry Kompost playing one in a Heliopolis video earlier. That 4001 is a Prog staple I tell ya. What instruments do you like in Prog?
