Here's one that fits the Rick's tone and style much better than anything New Order. One annoying thing about these Ricks is how much more quiet the bass pickup is than the treble pickup. This video has the pickups on neutral, but the blend all the way to the bass, which is the best way to get the loudest sound out of that pickup.
The All The Way cover was on the treble pickup as part of an attempt to get Peter Hook's sound, but it really is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, isn't it? I believe this volume disparity was an issue for all Rickenbacker basses pre-1972 (they then switched to high gain pickups). However, the famous Rickenbacker sound from the 60s was very much built on the smooth, warm tone of the bass pickup. The quietness would have never been an issue recording the bass, but for playing live, these are very much not basses you can crank.
Onto The Verve: Despite what Richard Ashcroft has spent the last 25 saying, this was a serious band with serious chemistry. The rhythm section of songs like Man Called Sun, Echo Bass, Gravity Grave, Sit and Wonder, and Major Force is untouchable, while there hasn't been another guitarist like Nick McCabe since. It's a shame Ashcroft sees more value in writing the same acoustic song over and over again than working with the other 3.
