I've seen that Wal in action with it's original owner, Roger Newell, during Rick Wakeman's King Arthur tour, Winter '75. It has been said that Chris currently has a repro of the original.

I met Rick and Roger after the show and we had a rather nice discussion for a while.

Man, that triple-neck is one ugly bass. What kind of pickups are those, Fender Jaguar pickups?

If you don't already have it, the Starlicks Chris Squire Video is worth getting. It's called an instructional Video, but it deals more with Chris' Basses & equipment, as well as some signature riffs. This devoted Squire fan highly recommends it.

There's plenty on links on the web about it; you could start with this one:

"Fender Jaguar pickups?". No, Fender Mustang ones. The top neck appears to be fitted with Telecasters.
"One ugly bass." I totally agree. And a gimmicky one to boot. Hey, Chris, never heard of the 4080 Model?
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

He uses that bass on "Awaken". Plays all three necks he does. Image
