Nice "Outtake" pic from the FRAGILE booklet. I would like to know what all is in the stack of records behind the 21 fretter, probably everything Chris was listening to at that point in time!

This has been one of the best threads that I've ever read on this forum. I've got my "BBC Crown Jewels" YES concert going on the DVR now.

It will be well photographed and featured in a Rickenbacker bass book I plan to publish next summer.

Wow, so it's a '70? NICE.vincent_gallo wrote:It will be well photographed and featured in a Rickenbacker bass book I plan to publish next summer.
Now THAT should be a real treat for the eyeballs!
I can't even imagine how many goodies are going to be tucked away between the covers of that one!

Vincent, please put me down for a copy when it comes out.
Re: Chris Squire's 1969 4001
Me, too!
Re: Chris Squire's 1969 4001
Just read the whole thread again and loved it type resurrection, do we have any updates on the bass?

I too just stumbled upon this, as being new around here. Totally awesome end to the story, and would love to here if Chris has been by to play it some?

Looks like the Brown wire ( bridge pup) is connected direct to output.johnallg wrote:Very good eyes, Sergio. No wire from the bridge pup to the switch.rickcrazy wrote:A VERY interesting thread indeed!
Just curious: is it my eyes, or the treble pickup on that 21 fretter is not wired up?...

i always had the feeling it was a '70...mine's JA-013.vincent_gallo wrote:for the record it is a 1970 JE-109
that shot of him holding the '70 and wearing the turtleneck and necklace was used in an old rotosound advert.

Re: Chris Squire's 1969 4001
Looking that photo of the control cavity over again it looks to me like the horsey is going to the treble pot output direct to the output. That means no tone control or volume pot on it. The neck looks to be wired normally. Interesting.
Re: Chris Squire's 1969 4001
When there was mention of Chris's Rick being serviced and the treble pick up was seen to be disconnected
it must have been this bass not the RM.
