No, mine is a fretted B302. The fretless version of this bass is worth having, I've seen and played several.

Onstage for the YFTO tour it was on a stand.
Yes you're right. It's a Guild fretless. I've just seen it in the interview Chris gave to Tim Morse in the book Yes Stories. He said: "One of the nicest things i think I've ever played is on side two of Topographic Ocean, The Remembering....

Bumping the thread...

Is it another 50s style P/Telebass one or a Jazz pickup?
I cant remember seeing the bass without the pickup cover.
I read somewhere that the bridge pickup was a Jazz Bass pickup, but I can't recall where I saw that. Does anyone know about the added Telecaster control plate, assuming it's a stock Tele plate dropped in? Stereo or mono?
Interesting (as noted) Chris gets his signature sound from basses other than the RM1999. Someone mentioned he used this bass on "South Side of the Sky". To me "Time and a Word" sounds like it could be the T-bass.

Just an item of note.. I want to say I read somewhere that Squire has single coil P bass pickups, ( Basslines maybe?) in his green Mouradian bass. Perhaps when that bass was made, he was going for the tone he missed from this old tele?

Could be.
He used a precision like Lakland recently on Magnification.
Interesting that he said the idea was to try and make the Tele bass sound like a Jazz and then he went with a real Jazz on side three of TFTO and To Be Over and Parallels.

you'll notice the pickups on his mouradian are in the same position as his RM1999 including the fact that this is the only bass made with the pickups 90 degrees to the strings where as the other basses made, the pickups are slanted.
