Homage to the legendary Yes player, this bass was part of a 1000 units limited production run. Very good condition and fully playable. I have photographed the most visible scratches, but in very good condition for a 20 year instrument that has been in use. Includes its original certificate, box, cloth and papers. 

Chris Squire is best known for his work with the supergroup YES which has been the recipient of a Grammy Award and numerous platinum and gold records. Squire has been considered for many years to be the quintessential rock bass player.

Rickenbacker teamed up with Squire to replicate and improve upon his legendary “Rick” bass which he has used to make great music with over the last 30 years. By including the custom modifications requested by Squire, this instrument was produced with unique features never before offered on a Rickenbacker bass.

The Chris Squire Limited Edition, Model 4001CS, features neck through body construction using solid Eastern Rock Maple, a contoured body, dot inlays, precision tuning keys and Rickenbacker’s famous tailpiece/bridge. The neck has been shaped to meet Squire’s specifications and match his original bass.

The head stock and fingerboard are sculpted from the same piece of solid Vermilion to insure consistency in grain and wood tone. The limited edition is finished in a special cream lacquer to match the custom color Squire commissioned on his own bass from an English luthier in the early 1970’s.

This model was formally introduced at the 1991 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. The Company only manufactured 1000 of these instruments. Includes Original Hard-Shell Case!
