    Big fan of Chris Squires technique and talent . Man that Wal bass has gotta be heavy .i think You'd end up looking like Quasimodo after a gig Pablo. If you want to hear some of Chris's playing check this out .http://youtu.be/-mc0sX3cPfg. I think Chris and Paul Mcartney showed the versatility of the Rickenbacker Bass

    I read somewhere that Rickenbacker weren't fond of Chris, because he introduced string Rickys with roundwounds and playing them with a pick. Apparently basses kept getting sent back with the frets and fingerboards chewed up from the strings and needing to be replaced after a lot of amateurs followed his lead.
