For sale is a rare 1996 Rickenbacker 4001CS Chris Squire Signature Bass Guitar, complete with its original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity. Crafted as part of a limited-edition series, the Rickenbacker 4001CS pays homage to Chris Squire's iconic 1964 British model bass, with only 1,000 units produced between 1991 and 2000. This particular bass guitar bears the distinction of being number 609 out of the 1,000 made.
Despite being played, this bass remains in very good condition and perfect working order. It shows visible signs of use, including light scratches, some dings, minor paint chipping by the bridge pickup, clear coat bubbling on some higher frets of the fingerboard, and clear coat checking on the fingerboard. Overall, I would rate its condition a solid 8.5 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 is also in very good condition and functions well. Detailed photos have been provided to offer a comprehensive view of the wear on the guitar.
For enthusiasts of Chris Squire and collectors seeking a unique, limited-edition bass with historical significance, this Rickenbacker 4001CS presents a rare opportunity. Thank you for your interest.
