Interesting idea,anyone seen Yes bassist Chris Squires triple neck Wal,that bass is something of a legend,i think it was given to him by Roger Newell who was the bass player from Rick Wakemans English Rock Ensemble.... jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1939 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 4:43 am:    Chris has used that Wal on every tour I've seen since I moved to Scotland 10 years ago. Only for one song mind you - 'Awaken'. i doubt if he'd be able to straighten up if he used it for more than that ;-) Graeme hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 436 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 6:58 am:    Actually, the one that Chris Squire plays now is a replica (made in Japan?) - the original is at a Hard Rock Cafe: http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/specs3.html (scroll down a bit) 2400wattman Senior Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 604 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 7:37 pm:    I remember reading somewhere that Rick Wakemen had the bass built for Roger and was subsequently given to Chris from Rick himself. Roger was quite upset about this from what I gathered in the article. 2400wattman Senior Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 605 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 7:39 pm:    Oh yes, that bass should be dubbed the "Crippler" rob_the_fiend Member Username: rob_the_fiend Post Number: 80 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 4:36 am:    Here is a slightly different take on my previous design. Also a rendering with the profile of the Double Dragonwing, for size. keurosix Advanced Member Username: keurosix Post Number: 381 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 8:48 pm:    Rob, You are too much!
