Mike Rutherford Genesis 1972 Ric Question

[Saint]

So, I’ve been watching Genesis’ 1972 Belgian Tv appearance more closely recently. I always knew Rutherford was playing a Ric 4001, but I just noticed the control layout and I don’t recall ever seeing anything like it.
I’ve included a screenshot. I’m curious as to whether anyone knows anything about this bass.

Try asking over in the Ric club. Someone there will know.

Good eye! All the times I’ve watched this I never saw that layout. Love the entire show.

Jeff might know what Rutherford did. It looks to me that Rutherford customized the controls of his 4001S (RM 1999?).

I agree that it looks like a customized control layout. But I'd love to confirm and know what it does and why he did it.
