  • Great Job...I was on stage in the 70's...at USC...(Carolina)...with a lot of "the" acts ...YES... a couple of times (Concert Committee Techie guy)....Very very nice...indeed!

    Took me "back in the day".......Nice posting...A Sentimental Journey...Thanks.

  • Chris Squire used some kind of pinch harmonic as his bass playing technique and he also played with two amps; one through a normal bass amp and the other one was a guitar amp that gave him his amazing sound.

  • very nice... nailed the Chris´sound....what amp are you using if I can ask???....

  • OMG! Goosebumpules all around!!! Where were you when I used to play drums!!?? Great..just Great! Dave

  • this was very good. I am a keyboard player and I play alot of Rick's stuff. One question, at the 7:05 mark, there is a recurring bass note that I believe was played on a set of bass pedals. can anyone verify? thx

  • I'm impressed. This piece is no joke. It's hard.

    Your plectrum technique is an inspiration to me. (mine was never that good)

  • @ramzahnY Well thanks !! I started with a pick as I was learning to play .. Then graduated to fingers later on.. both techniques have there place in bass playing for sure!!! Chris

  • Great tone. What amp and speakers do you use here? I can here the growel of low action.

  • @acifonelli Neck p/u into a 60's wollensack tube tape recorder into mesa boogie cab. Mic'd with a condenser into PT plug in add compression. Bridge P/u into 70's mxr blue EQ into Transmorgrfier compression pedal into a fender tweed pro Junior with alcino (blue) 10" speaker distort those tubes a bit only when you dig in make it bright. Mic'd with A tube condenser. Sounds cool in the room live.. Low action and straight neck so you can hear string buzz.. Thanks CT

  • right on: that will great to see/hear!

  • Thanks for your interest in Bassing!

  • Thanks for your interest in Bassing!

  • Man, you and Motorpsycho are the only Rickenbacker players here in youtube who could achieve that typical growly-clanging Ric sound...I'm delighted, how could you get such sound? I have a white 1976 4001 and i couldn't get that sound yet. I would appreciate a lot if you explain me what gear and settings are you using!

  • @warmaster2006 I have been asked a few times about the Ricky sound. Bass needs to set up in this manner. New rotosounds, neck straight, lower action, Rear pickup, adjust hi enough so it growls when y dig into it. Guitar amp slightly clipping (playing hard) 12' speakers...or 15' (Never liked tens for top end. not open sounding enough.) top end + 2.5k ish .flat eq on bottom. MXR 10 band Blue EQ. Most important is your technique.. play it bright and clanky! CSquire used Marshalls then Sunn.

  • Way Too Kind. Thank you CT..

  • Ok, now that your warmed up what can you do? OUT OF SIGHT MAN!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for let us see this amazing tribute level bass playing.! I want to be YOU when I grou up!!!!. LOLhahahahahaah

  • Hello, I have the Ampeg SVT CL head that combines with the case Ampeg 4x10 HLF .. I'll be able 'to get your sound? Use a Rickenbacker 4001 1978 .. .. I play without a plectrum Hello and congratulations! Hello from italy.

  • I've known and loved this song for over 30 years, and you just pointed my interest to the bass line for the first time! I'm a melody player (guitar) and that explains why I hardly ever listen to Yes music with 'bass ears'. But the combination of hearing the notes and seeing you play them is absolutely revealing. What a fine, melodic, original bass player Chris is, and always has been throughout his Yes career. Keep up the pretty good bass work!

  • yeah baby yeah!!!!!

    nice brother
