Fender should issue a Chris Squire Signature model

[Ric5]

...and 2 different Mouradians,custom extended range Tobias,8-string Ranney,a Lakland P bass....

2 Mouradians?

I always thought ha owned just one

 

[bucephylus]

look at this video here … about 15:40 he is playing the Fender … also before that he is playing his 60s Rickenbacker with the contact paper stuck all over it

Ok, interesting vid. But, that bit at 15:40 is synced to a track. LOL. Though I have no doubt the Fender was used on that track.

He played the 2nd one,the model was called the Reality bass,on Mind drive on the 35th Anniversary tour.

Thanks for that …

Jim Mouradian passed a couple of years ago and his son now does the company and I guess there was one 5 string cs-74 made and there were less than 100 of the cs-74 basses made and they might be making some more … I like the Mouradians, except for the headstock

Tried to google an image of Chris playing the Reality,but out of hundreds of results,there weren’t any photos.
The search DID bring up a photo of you playing a blue Rickenbacker,though!

 

[woodyng2]

Oh,i found this image,too.

Similarly, many would have a difficult time guessing that this signature g*itar from the Gibson Custom Shop was a tribute to Robbie Krieger, who played SGs onstage with The Doors (but used a mid-fifties Les Paul for slide and studio overdubs).

Almost looks like a reverse Neil Young sig, minus the Bigsby...

If fender Squier will make a stupid Mike dirnt p bass then there is no reason why they shouldn't have a Chris Squire signature bass. They have so many artist line basses already why not one for a man who inspired a whole new way to play the instrument?

I loathe Green Day but it makes sense to me. They have sold way more albums than Yes and Dirnt has always played a P bass. I didn't even know Squire played anything other than a Ric until I read this thread.

 

[Ric5]

my CS-74-ish bass

 

[Ric5]

You can get a good Ricky tone out of the Gibson G3

 

[B-Mac]

Ya … I remember the videos for Rush moving Pictures and he would record a track with the jazz and use the Rick for the video and then he would record a track with the Rick and use the jazz for the video ...

...and then he’d forget which one was which in later interviews....

He was better known for his Jazz Bass, though. I even saw him use it when I saw Yes in 2013.

Besides, the Tele Bass is tainted with Vincent Gallo's DNA (not his real name, BTW), who'd want to have anything to do with that?

I'm a bit late to the party but can you tell me what your beef with VG is, please? Personally, I thought there was no need for that comment.

A Squier Squire!

Somebody had to say it.

VG is not liked so much on the Rickresource forum … well for that matter neither am I …

Ya maybe we should avoid this topic and keep the moderators happy

Geddy had a talent for making the Rick and the jazz some very similar

This isn't RickResource.

[turf3]

Boss, what's going on with the controls on this bass?

They're set for the heart of the sun.

Actually..... YES!!!
