Jack Bruce played an EB-0 and EB-3. The bass player from Free played an EB-3. The bass player from Mott The Hoople played a Thunderbird. Former Frehley's Comet bassist John Regan sometimes played a Thunderbird (at least in the video for Ace's cover of "Do Ya" in 1989). Chuck Garric of Dio, L.A. Guns, Alice Cooper and the Eric Singer Project plays an LP bass. Mike Dirnt used to play a Grabber. Rudy Sarzo sometimes uses an EB-0. The bass player for Scorpions (I always forget his name) played a non-reverse Thunderbird once and a while. Chas Chandler played an EB-2 back in the day. I have seen pictures of Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton with an LP bass.

Yep. I was going to say "I play one." Well, two, more or less. The EB-2 is a Gibson and the Thunderbird is an Epiphone, but it is a Gibson design.
