What helps to get that trebly/clacky Squire sound out of a Rick?įor some, the 4001’s stock pickups may not be responsive enough to get the sound you’re chasing after. What is known is that the instrument had been sent back to Rickenbacker at one point for headstock repairs, and in addition to that, Chris himself stated the instrument had been refurbished “many times.” All the repairs over the years affected the overall weight of the instrument to varying degrees. Some claim it only weighs 2/3 of a regular 4001. There is some debate as to what Chris’s Rick actually weighed. On the 4001S there is no body binding, and the fretboard inlays are dots instead of triangles. ![]() The legendary bass he used was a Rickenbacker and was a ’64, but was a variant of the 4001 called the 4001S model. ![]() It’s a common belief that the bass Chris used was a 1964 Rickenbacker 4001. But it’s also obvious that the Rickenbacker bass he used also played a huge part in that trebly, clacky tone he was able to get.
