I love the tone on those old horseys, but it seems like Squire was the only one able to get one that worked like a charm.. The 4003 bass in question is a 2009 model,so its got adjustable polepieces, wide inlays, pull up tone knob for the .47 capacitor, plus its just a really nicely made bass -- neck is a little bit chunky, but if she had checker binding, why I just might marry her!!!![]()

Yes,but that low ouput pickup was feeding into an alledgedly superhot Marshall tube amp!
The last time i saw Yes,Chris played his Fish out of water bass for 2 songs,and there was a distinct difference in the sound he got from it,compared to the RM,mainly,it was less clear sounding.

I'm not positive about this but it seems to me that Squire got most of his tone out of the neck pickup. I can replicate his sound pretty closely with the nick pickup and a pick on my 79 4001, course it has a Sergio neck pickup in it which really sounds great.

Yes Bob, you're right. Watch his Star Licks Master Class video, he plays the majority of it on the neck pickup, and when he does add the horsey, it sounds like he switched on a bright switch.
Bassically, Michael
I own myself a 4001CS and a V63,both from '91.
