    Rickenbacker 4003 vs. 4001C64

    In 1974, I bought a Burgundy glow 4001 after seeing Yes's Relayer tour. I was 15-yo and studied Squire diligently. Then came Jon Camp of Renaissance and Rush who was more accesable as Yes is in a category of their own. Listening to isolated bass tracks of Squire's early recordings, he actually...

    Bass guitar choice inspired by bassist?

    I bought a Fender Precision in 1973 at Guitar Center in Seattle because of Greg Lake and Roger Waters. Black, white pick guard rosewood neck. I was 14-yo and made the money to buy the Fender nailing wooden caviar boxes together. Then I saw Chris Squire with Yes on their Relayer tour in 1974 and...

    What bass should I buy to capture the Chris Squire (Yes) sound

    I once had a Gibson Victory bass. It had the single pickup as they came with a 2-pick up configuration too. With roto-sounds, I had no problem getting a Squire esqe/Rush Ricky growl out of it via my Ampeg. They go for the $700-$1,000 range and sound like something between a 4001 and Precision...

    Bass guitar choice inspired by bassist?

    Roger Waters, Chris Squire and Greg Lake (last 2 used to live together) played a Rickenbacker because Paul McCartney played one. Geddy Lee and Jon Camp played one because of Chris Squire. Chris, Roger, Greg worshipped Paul, Jon and Geddy worshipped Chris. I would not call them "immature players"...

    Pedal that comes close to Orange OB-1 grind

    I purchased a OB1 from Guitar Center and exchanged for an Ampeg SVT. For the life of me, I could not dial in a harmonically rich tone for my Ricky 4001. Its a solid state amp with the blender which is a poor excuse for gain or overdriven sound. The tone is flat and actually makes my Roto-sound...

    Jon Camp of Renaissance -any other oldtimers recall him?

    I first started playing bass due to Greg Lake and Roger Waters. Bought a 1973 Fender Precision then a 74 Rickenbacker after seeing Squire with their Relayer tour. Studied Squire for hours and then I saw Jon Camp in the Paramount in Seattle in 1975 and was blown away. Ashes Are Burning live is...
