All depends on where they were rehearsing.
Even though his baby is the RM1999, he owns numerous other 4001s.
Most notably is his MG '69-'70 Deluxe.

Skunk stripe neck...no stripe body...no TRC...dark finger board. Do I dare say it? Do I dare think it? Could this be a Rickenfacker???

With no TRC AND no skunk stripe on the body I vote for Faker!!!

Ah, ****!
Yes!
Didn't notice the lack of skunk on the body!
Squire playing a faker. Why, never in a million years...

I think its a faker:
-no TRC
-no skunk stripe on the body
-knobs don't look correct
-strap button on horn looks too low
-tuners too long
Could it be? How could a Ricken-God of his caliber stoop to such a level? Say it isn't so, Chris!!

Also, notice the small truss-rod nut pocket. It is a 4001 copy, decidedly. Chris Squire playing a Rick copy?? Wonders never cease.

Maybe it was the prototype of the 4000 series body design that he came up with at about the same time he invented Ric-O-sound !!!

His white Electra, the one with the plug in modules that he likes to use on "Tempus Fugit", was only one of a couple models with this feature, I think they made a Rick copy.
Maybe thats what he's got here.

I bet they're over Steve Nardelli's house (Syn singer)...and they're just going over a few tunes for the new album.
Why in the heck would Squire be playing a fake, when he probably has a million Rick's at home?

He doesn't like 4003s apparently.
Not a fan of the necks.
