For sale is a rare 1991 Rickenbacker 4001CS Chris Squire Signature Bass Guitar, complete with its original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity. This limited-edition bass, paying homage to Chris Squire's 1964 British model, is part of a series with only 1,000 units produced between 1991 and 2000. Number 314 out of the 1,000 made, this bass guitar is an early version featuring the highly sought-after large headstock.
Though well-played, this bass remains in good condition and perfect working order. Signs of use are visible, including scratches, dings, finish checking, wear on the back, chipping around the bridge, some tarnish on the hardware, and paint flaking on the bottom of the pickguard. On the overall scale, its condition rates a solid 7.5 out of 10. Importantly, all components on the guitar are original, and there are no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. The neck is straight, and the original frets are in excellent condition with no signs of wear. A recent setup ensures optimal playability, with no buzzing or dead spots.
The original hard-shell case, also in very good condition, accompanies the bass. Detailed photos have been provided to give you a comprehensive view of the wear on the bass guitar.
If you're a fan of Chris Squire and are seeking a unique, limited-edition bass with historical significance, this Rickenbacker 4001CS offers a rare opportunity. Thank you for your interest.
