Squire's other basses
Squire's other basses
I know this is a little "off" the Rickenbacker topics, but then again we're talking about Chris Squire right?
What other basses does Squre own? I've seen him with the following.
1. RM 1999 (old faithful)
2. Moradian
3. Ranney 8-string
4. Electra MPC
5. Fender Jazz
6. tranny brown Tobias (low B tuning)?
7. Red Tobias 5-string
8. Rickenbacker 4001 CS
9. Wal triple neck
Anyone know of any others? I think his blue Thunderbird was sold.
And does he use a seperate amp rig for his "active" basses?
In another thread we talk about his amp settings, even a piece of tape on one to let his tech get the settings correct. Now if he were to switch to a "active" bass, would'nt that change everything?
Inquiring minds want to know.....

Chris also bought a Lakland Bob Glaub, with a Joe Osborn neck, to replace his ~74 Jazz Bass. It's a nice Inca silver P type bass.
Info is available on the Lakland site...

If you look at Chris's Mouradian, it has soapbar type pickups positioned similar to that of a Rickenbacker.
The other Mouradians I've seen have Jazz bass type pickups in a more Fender-like configuration.
I've only seen one other that is like Chris's, but its a black sparkle color.

I believe it does jo. I know that the knob layout is different than a stock Electra.
This is supposed to be the first Mouradian made for Squire, but for some reason he didnt like it, and ended up getting the green one.
Keep in mind this is all heresay. Maybe Chris could clear this up???
Look at the pickups on this one compared to the one on EBAY.
