...What bass does Chris Squire play on " Roundabout " ? I imagine it being a Rickenbacker but I'm just not sure. Whatever it is , it has a wonderful " wooden " tone.

And I hope this distracts from the negative news from this great band , ...I just like to think of the good times. It may be a Fender Jazz...I just don't know. -m

Oh Well Paul....

At least NELSON will be there.... That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. (NOT!!!)

If you get a chance....see if The Fools will be doing a gig or 2 there.

That would be a show to see!(I don't know if they even have anything on You-tube...but still a fun show) Chris

I think that would require the use of a couple of bricks so I could reach those high notes:-)

Paul Fredricks_6

I know you had said you were going to try and sneak tickets past the Mrs.

I hope you and I get another chance to see them.

A look at The Fools website looks like they're not leaving MA anytime soon. Oh well.

Too bad,,,

Sarah Brightman is playing Madison Square Garden soon, if that's any consolation...(NOT!!) Hopefully he'll pull through and they'll reschedule. One of those twisty nutcrackers night work for those high notes too paul...

Yes

It is a Rick. The same one he has played for years, and still plays. I think it's a 63 or a 65. I'll have to look it up.

from wiki:

Squire's main instrument is a Rickenbacker bass (model RM1999, serial number DC127), which he has owned and played since 1965. The RM1999 was a budget, monophonic version of Rickenbacker's 4001 stereo bass. This model was imported into the UK by Rose Morris Ltd (hence the RM prefix on the model number) and, according to Squire's official website, was only the fourth bass of its type to be imported into Britain from the United States. This instrument, with its warmth and distortion, is a significant part of Squire's unique sound. According to his interview in Guitar Player magazine in October 1973, Squire obtained his distinctive tone at the time by rewiring his RM1999 into stereo and sending the bass and treble pickups each into a separate amplifier. This technique is known as "bi-amping". By splitting the signal from his bass into dual high and low frequency outputs and then sending the low frequency output to a conventional bass amplifier and the high-frequency output to a separate lead guitar amplifier, Squire produced a tonal 'sandwich' that added a growling, overdriven edge to the sound while retaining the Rickenbacker's powerful bass response. This gave his bass sound bright, growling higher frequencies and clean, solid bass frequencies. This technique allowed Squire to utilise harmonic distortion on his bass while avoiding the flat, fuzzy sound, loss of power and poor bass response that typically occurs when bass guitars are overdriven through an amplifier or put through a fuzz box. He also uses fresh Rotosound Swing Bass strings for every show.
