So from what I am understanding..... Ric did make a plastic bridge cover that was coated in some sort of chrome looking material and it very well could of been what came with my 1978 4001? But the "Bridge" cover on a CS or a 64s is actually part of the sound function and not just a "cool" looking ...

Thanks All....I wasn't sure since the 64s is metal and I don't have any other original bridge PU covers.

Happy Holidays to all of you!!!!

Jay, that is significantly less than they were going for before the recent stock market, uh, realignment. $3k is not bad for one. I would try and talk them down for the no cert and signature guard, those are subtractions. Then it would be in line with condition and economic times. The guard more ...

Hello,

In early 1992 I received a call from my local guitar store that they just received the new Chris Squire 4001. That evening went to the shop, played the bass and agreed to buy the bass. The next day after going to the bank for the loan ( I think about $1100 or right under that) and giving ...
