Very interesting, and a very plausible theory. Shame you missed it, that would have been a cool one to own. Even if it wasn't Lake's and had actually been Giles', it still would have been the only Rickenbacker to grace a Crimson record.
Except that Giles didn't play a Rick on a Crimson record. The only album he plays bass on that is of course "In The Wake Of Poseidon" is most certainly played on a Jazz Bass. He used the Rick for the "Giles, Giles & Fripp" album pre-KC and also for the "McDonald&Giles" album Ian McDonald and Mike Giles recorded after splitting from KC in late 1969.
A pic from the "ITWOP" sessions:
He had the RM1999 when they mimed "Cat Food" on TOTP.
Ah HA! And that would be where my confusion came from. Good to know that it was a J-bass on record. Very cool photos as well BTW, thanks for sharing.
