Ok, so the passing of Luis Johnson recently got me thinking about what songs might have been recorded with an Alembic bass..
 
Here is one from the Brother's Johnson
 

 
Everyone knows Staley Clarke and Mark King recordings on Alembic, and of course lots of Grateful Dead ..
 
What else?

was sort of hoping for specific tracks...  
 
For example, Entwistle played Alembic during a certain period, not thru out the 40 years..  not sure how much of it was live and how much on recorded tracks.. etc..
 
lets try and be more specific and stick with well known songs..

This will be fun,
The Chain -
 
 
Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick -

 
I've heard that Heart used the doubleneck on Barracuda, I can't verify that...someone here might be able to.
...and the electric guitar on Fame is an Alembic 12 string IIRC.
 
I'll add more as they bubble up ;)

Most of One Hot Minute by the Red Hot Chili Peppers was recorded with Flea using an Epic.

All songs are well known by fans of the band. Here's my favorite Electromagnets tune, Dry Ice, with Eric Johnson on guitar & Kyle Brock on his Series I -
 
If you just want commercial radio tunes, Styx had a ton of them with Chuck Panozzo on his Series I Scorpion, take your pick -
